Sponsored by geomatics company Plowman Craven and UK bicycle retailer Evans Cycles, in its inaugural season, the team won three National and one World title with Malcolm Elliot also taking the Elite Circuit Race Series.

The team's focus is senior professional events in the United Kingdom and second-tier road races such as the UCI Europe Tour.

PCA was among the first professional cycling teams to introduce "doping passports" to prevent blood doping in cycling when it launched its Race Clean initiative before to the 2007 Tour of Britain.^[1]
