"I'm really excitied that Devitt have chosen to support me again in 2007. They are one of the motorcycle industry's premier companies and share the same enthusiasm and passion for motorcycles as I do. Devitt are based locally to my home so the logistics of us working so closely together is made very easy.

        Calanpoint Contracts Ltd

 

 

Calanpoint is Ben's longest running sponsor. The company which specialises in the design, manufacture, supply and installation of traditional and specialist joinery first sponsored Ben back in 1999. Established in 1987, Calanpoint have built a strong reputation within the construction industry for their elegance of craftsmanship and quality of work. Their impressive client list includes Selfridges, The Tate Gallery, Deutschebank, The BBC, The Japanese Embassy and many more high profile clients.

"Calanpoint have supported me for a number of years now and supplied the bikes that I have raced over the past few seasons - so without their help I quite litterally would not be racing today! I was first introduced to Andy Biglin (Calanpoint's Managing Director) back in 1999 and we started chatting about motorcycle racing. Andy is an ex-racer having competed for a number of years in the KRC Endurance Championship with considerable success. We immediately struck up a friendship which has seen Calanpoint support me over past seasons in a number of different championships. I like to think that I have a strong relationship with Calanpoint that will hopefully see us move forward together for many years to come."
