My brother is toying with getting a bike through his employer so I want to help where I can.

I've no real idea on whats the best value for around the £1k bracket. Are the Halfords/Boardman frames any good? http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/mountain-bikes/boardman-mountain-bike-pro-hardtail-29er-2014

Anything else to consider?

Nice one, that's a pretty good call! Leaves budget for a lid too.

Is this to ride to work on or is he looking for a mountain bike for off road/weekend stuff?

Will get used for both work and weekend fun. I want him to go more mtb than road orientated.

I only found out today that the cycle scheme my work uses has a new budget, £5k although will be sticking to the old limit of £1k for my new commuter!
