The firm also takes an active part in free will-making schemes with St Richard’s Hospice and Kemp Hospice.
Mr Williams said: “I’m delighted mfg Solicitors are helping me this year as I step up to Pro Continental level with One Pro Cycling.
“They have an exciting worldwide racing calendar and I’ll be working hard to contribute to the success of the team. I look forward to sharing my experiences with mfg Solicitors and their clients through the One Pro Cycling website, which will keep our supporters fully up to date on the team’s progress.”
Suzanne Lee, partner and managing director of mfg Solicitors said: “Sam is a remarkable sportsman who has achieved a great deal at a young age through discipline, determination and hard work.
“As one of One Pro Cycling’s youngest team members, he’s an inspiration to everyone young and old and we’re honoured to be able to support him in a key stage of his career.
“Sam is already a great ambassador for the local area. We wish him every success and look forward to keeping tabs on his progress throughout the year.”
