AT 17, Gwenno Hughes was the youngest woman rider at the Tour de Yorkshire.

She was sponsored by Yorkshire-based food manufacturer Symington’s, an official Tour De Yorkshire supplier at the event last weekend.

Gwenno is a Welsh Junior International and is one of the UK’s top rising sporting stars. Gwenno competes in numerous races, both at home and overseas, and regularly secures top 10 finishes.

Mug Shot is part of Yorkshire-based Symington’s business, which generates over £140 million in sales per year and employs 700 staff locally. 

Gwenno said: “I am delighted to be supported by Mug Shot as the youngest rider in the race. It’s a fantastic opportunity for me to ride the Tour de Yorkshire, which is without a doubt one of best women’s races in the world”.

Mike Benton, Head of Snacking at Symington’s, said: “The Tour de Yorkshire is an incredibly exciting event for all of us who live in Yorkshire, and plays an important role in raising awareness of the region on a global stage."
