Residential sales and letting firm Linley & Simpson has launched a limited edition of signboards to mark the Tour de France Grand Depart in West Yorkshire this summer.

The customised signage features a cut-out of the Tour’s yellow jersey.

Between now and the end of the world’s most televised sporting event, the boards will be a common sight outside hundreds of properties for sale and for rent across West and North Yorkshire.

They will be available to clients across all ten of the independent agency’s offices, including Ilkley, Saltaire and Horsforth.

Director Will Linley said: “As a company with our roots firmly embedded in Yorkshire, we wanted to add our own dimension to the way the county is throwing its support behind this once-in-a-lifetime sporting occasion.

“Our offices are reporting an upsurge of interest in those properties with ‘front row seats’ that line the route.”

Staff at the agency are taking part in a charity cycle challenge between its network of offices to raise money for Martin House Children’s Hospice.
