Raleigh’s Future in British Hands | Nottingham News

Raleigh, the legendary British bike brand born in 1887, is heading into administration after a century of cycling history — but local leaders are rallying to save its soul. Once a major employer with factories across Nottinghamshire, the company was bought by Dutch firm Accell in 2012 and struggled to stay afloat despite restructuring efforts. Now, Broxtowe Council is calling on the government to intervene, proposing a bold plan to buy back the Raleigh name and revive manufacturing near the Bennerley Viaduct — potentially creating jobs and honoring Britain’s industrial heritage. This isn’t just about bikes; it’s about preserving a national icon and sparking economic revival right where it all began.
