The Niche Vehicle Network has supported White Motorcycle Concepts from the beginning of its journey, backing a radical concept through to commercialisation. The funding support provided to small businesses is great, but it is the knowledge, support and the whole NETWORK that adds the real value. We are huge supporters of their mission and would recommend joining the network to all small manufacturing businesses in the UK.
