SOUTHAMPTON IT training firm Blue Chip is giving away a Suzuki British Superbike to celebrate the official opening of its new centre in the city today.

Reaching 0-60mph in just 2.4 seconds, the Rizla Suzuki GSX-R1000, pictured, is a replica of the bikes used by the racing team, which has linked up with Blue Chip.

The Suzuki team and their bikes will also be visiting the Carlton Crescent base, which employs 30 staff, for the opening.

Blue Chip managing director Richard Cook said: "We see our move to Southampton as an important ingredient in the business' continued growth and its progression.

"We have decided to make our partnership with Suzuki and the Southampton office launch a dual celebration."

All Blue Chip clients who spend more than £1,000 between now and September 31 will be entered into a prize draw for the bike, with the winner pulled from a hat on October 1.
