  • Evans Cycles Limited (FRN 845262) is an AR of TWOTHREEBIRD UK LIMITED (FRN 313965). When you use Evans Cycles's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Evans Cycles, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
