MEET THE TEAM

ANDRE ZEMBRZUSKI

I am a former British Champion in my field of racing. In 1981 I was the 250cc British Enduro Champion. I have ridden in five six day Enduros, for both the British Trophy Team and the British Vase Team. With over 25 years of varied riding experience, and with over 25 years in the bike business, I know what you as a customer require from our service. It is my intention to sell the right types of products, for most makes of bikes, for all types of racing, at the right price. Nearly all the products on this site are available for immediate dispatch from our own stock. If you have any queries just pick up the phone and give us a call, we will always try to be helpful.

JUNE ZEMBRZUSKI

I have been involved with road bikes from a very early age. My mother used her maternity grant to buy a sidecar for her B.S.A which she tells me was better than a pram as she didn't have to listen to us screaming! At the age of 10, my first bike was an old monkey bike, with a wire hanging from the handlebars, pressed by foot, to act as a throttle, there were no brakes or stop button, you just jummped off and let the bike carry on untill it stopped. Quite similar to my riding style today really!! I enjoy Playing Hockey for Llandrindod Ladies, and I am kept busy with 6 childern to look after, all the accounts to do, and i am involved in the day to day running of the business.

SIMON DADSON-Supervisor

I have a wide range of interests from rugby to travelling. I am fairly good at sport and I thoroughly enjoy rugby, but due to a knee injury I had to give up and turned my efforts to Mountain Biking. I have competed in Weston Beach Race six times on the sidecar with my mate and co worker Keith with our highest placing being 6th, and we won the sidecar clubman in the Welsh Two Day 99'. My tasks within the business vary form answering the phone to ordering new stock in and dealing with our trade customers. I am a friendly person with a good sense of humor and am willing to give anyboby a helping hand.

GARETH WARREN-Catalogue Designer

In college I studied for a Sports Science Diploma which I gained but then could not continue with due to agrivated injuries.

I left ORO for a couple of months to travel and went to Spain but couldnt handle the heat and found it difficult to find a job, I think Andre was pleased to have me back doing the catalouge!
