February 20, 2014 (Hamilton, ON) – National Cycling Centre Hamilton is pleased to announce that DEC Express will be the title sponsor for Team NCCH powered by DEC Express for the next five years.

“DEC Express is delighted to increase our involvement with NCCH,” says Sandy Montgomery from DEC Express.

“Over the past couple of years we have watched the team of young riders grow and develop into a formidable force under the direction of Rick Lee. The team members are acquiring skills that will serve them throughout their lives both in cycling and outside it,” he says.

“DEC Express has been based in Burlington for 25 years and we welcome the opportunity to support a program that brings these values to our community. As the team extends its reach, it was a natural fit with DEC as we, too, are expanding across Canada,” Montgomery says.

The long-term commitment means a lot to Canada’s leading development centre for cycling.

“To have a title sponsor committed to five years is a real boost,” says Lloyd Fairbairn, president of the NCCH board of directors.

“DEC Express has supported NCCH over the past two years, and it is a compliment to the program that they have decided to lift their sponsorship commitment and support. We look forward to working with DEC Express in achieving our respective goals.”

Montgomery adds, “DEC Express is a quality driven company committed to providing our customers with premium service. Since 1989 we have developed a reputation for quality, integrity and service, while servicing the leaders in manufacturing, commercial, transportation and government industries.

“Our highly trained logistics professionals, working in a completely automated environment have all the tools necessary to be able to establish the most effective method for moving your shipment and we can offer a full range of services utilizing both ground and air transportation for all of your urgent shipments or provide you with a dedicated fleet for your scheduled deliveries,” Montgomery says.
