Inventor of the Brompton bike

The best example of what a company does is its product. Andrew Ritchie
came up to the stage with one of the Brompton bicycles, which folds easily
and quickly into a highly-compact and portable package in only five steps.

Afterwards, he explained the story of the company: "the idea has required a lot
of energy and enthusiasm. Moreover, he admits "a lot of Brompton story is due
to luck" and, of course, "hard work".
