A Spoke-tacular Event

BDO Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge

PR, Communications

Sam and the team at Legend were great to work with because they got on with the job, required very little direction, and reacted quickly to work that needed to be done. Event day is always a high-energy environment and Sam kept calm under pressure. We look forward to working with Legend again.
