ECOMMRIDERS
Since 2022, our growing team of bikers have been combining business with pleasure! Sometimes we go out for rides into the countryside just for fun, but often it’s a way of balancing an outdoor activity with either a work meeting outside the office, or a CSR initiative to support the local community.
The Spartans
The basketball players among us decided to join forces and form a team to compete in Cyprus’s amateur basketball league. After starting small in 2023, we soon won the championship in our category and rose to category B, where we will be competing in 2024 and training for even better results – so watch this space!
