Triathlon market leader HUUB is an innovative company with a mission to make athletes faster. When we were asked if we wanted to create suits for Team Europe at the Collins Cup we couldn’t have been prouder, not only to create the suits for the winning team but also to allow us to showcase our new Aero-Heat-Matrix.

Here at HUUB, we shy away from the easy; our focus has always been innovation and a meticulous approach to researching where gains can still be found and remain as yet uncovered.

Nicola at Glossop Book Fest is putting together a new page on their website for books and illustrators; do get in touch if you would like to be featured.
