Year 13 Business Studies Trip - Chain Reaction Cycles
On the 14th and 16th March 2016, Year 13 Business Studies pupils visited Chain Reaction Cycles in Doagh. Chain Reaction Cycles is the world's largest online bike store which has grown from a small family owned local bike shop, to a multi-channel online retailer distributing to over 120 countries daily with over 5 million units sold per year.
On arrival, pupils browsed around the showroom containing the many products Chain Reactions sells. Fiona Dowds, Training and Development Manager at Chain Reaction Cycles, then took pupils through the 100 000 sq. foot warehouse to one of their conference rooms where she gave a very informative presentation on the company. This provided pupils with real-life business examples and consolidated the theory that they have been discussing in class.
