Well done to our Big Box teams, who enjoyed every gruelling minute of this year’s spectacular Wines2Whales staged mountain bike races.
Each of our two-person teams did the company proud. Riding together were Big Box’s Managing Director Jasper Coetzee and Peter Smith, and, on a second team, Big Box Director Willie Ward and Alan Roberts.

Everyone enjoyed ice cold water from our Big Box refrigerated container, and our containers served as event offices too.
