Former pro rider Kian Emadi-Coffin joins Oxford Products

Stockport-based Kian Emadi-Coffin has joined Oxford Products’ IBD support team as Area Sales Manager of the company’s northern patch.

Emadi-Coffin has represented Great Britain and England at international level and is a three-time British National Track Champion.

The role with be Emadi-Coffin’s first ‘regular’ job having only recently retired from a long career in pro cycling, giving him chance to work with the industry that has supported him for so many years.

Oxford Products’ Sales Manager Vincenzo Iannidinardi said: “The discipline and work ethic required to hit the heights as a professional athlete will certainly be helpful in what is a demanding role. Kian is keen to work hard serving our retail partners, whilst remaining a powerful advocate for the industry. We look forward to giving him every support in his new career.”

A Maths graduate, Kian Emadi-Coffin started cycling competitively at the age of 13, and raced in many disciplines (track, road and cyclo-cross), before concentrating on the sprint disciplines of track racing. He moved to Manchester at the age of 18 as a member of the British Cycling Podium Programme.

He represented Great Britain at the 2013 UCI Track Cycling World Championships and England at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. He won his first senior medal, a silver in the team sprint, at the latter event. A back injury in 2014 saw him switch to the endurance squad. He has since medalled seven times for his country (European and World Championships, plus the Commonwealth Games), the most recent being a bronze in the team pursuit at the UCI World Championship in 2021.
