Royal Enfield Training Academy

Spyder Technical Training Academy Proposal

Royal Enfield and Spyder to Date

Our association with Royal Enfield began in 2021 providing logistics for UKTC, leading to a three-day support role for a Royal Enfield and Belstaff partnership.

Spyder continue to supply UK and EU logistics to UKTC, providing flexible solutions.

In 2023, Spyder were delighted to be invited to tender for the press fleet contract and having been successful, we believe we’ve proved reliable, professional and passionate to the Royal Enfield UK brand and team since being appointed.

Being the UK technical training partner is something Spyder would like to discuss further…

A Royal Enfield Training Centre – Unit 2230

Spyder Motorcycles have taken on a second address – Unit 2230 - at Silverstone Race Circuit. This unit has the potential to become a bespoke Royal Enfield Technical Training Academy.

Centrally located with excellent facilities, the unit can be personalised to accommodate all Royal Enfield requirements.

The vision is to create a relaxed, inspirational and fun learning environment tailored to the Royal Enfield educational ethos.

The Future – Growing Together

MEPC continue to develop at Silverstone Circuit and Spyder Motorcycles have an option to take on a prominent unit close to one of the main circuit entrances. This could offer Royal Enfield significant brand awareness at the world-famous circuit, including the prospect of a Royal Enfield dealership.

Training Team

The Spyder tech team is led by Workshop Manager Andy. Andy has been in the motorcycle industry for 40 years, earning a reputation as a valued technician at dealerships and with manufacturers, building a business as a director, and training both in a classroom setting and as a racer on track.

Since the beginning of the Royal Enfield and Spyder partnership in late 2023, Andy has developed his knowledge of Royal Enfield motorcycles to the level of master tech.

Andy’s ability to communicate his knowledge and engage a room full of people means he’d be an asset to the Royal Enfield technical training syllabus and academy.
