The Bermuda Bicycle Association has presented Butterfield and Curtis Dickinson, the group head of private banking at Butterfield, with the Club Person of the Year award.

The BBA has also thanked Butterfield for its continued support for the association’s major stage race, the Butterfield Bermuda Grand Prix.

Butterfield has been the title sponsor of the event, which was held last month, for the past seven years.

Dickinson, an avid cyclist, said: “Butterfield is delighted to support the Bermuda Bicycle Association and this world-class event.

“Over the past several decades, the BBA has successfully developed local talent and promoted the benefits of cycling in Bermuda.

“Promoting their efforts in the community and assisting with community events like this one are essential elements in Butterfield’s corporate social responsibility efforts.”

Peter Dunne, the BBA president, added: “The support provided by Butterfield and the enthusiasm with which Curtis and the Butterfield staff have embraced this event is a major contributor to the success of our athletes. “Not only has the bank provided financial support but the staff have come out in great numbers to help us manage the events with volunteers.

“This level of commitment is felt by the competitors and organisers, making for a safe and smooth event”.
