A five-man team from Logistics UK has completed a 130-mile overnight cross-country bike ride, raising £2,600.00 for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Starting at the business group’s offices in Leamington Spa on 27 July, 2022, the team rode through the night via central London before arriving at the organisation’s head office in Tunbridge Wells, completing the ride in a total of ten hours.

Organiser and participant Ian Wright, General Manager of Major Account Development at Logistics UK, commented: “It was a very long and tiring night, but the whole team is proud to have had the opportunity to raise money for such a worthy cause. Training has been a long process and it is lovely to see all the hard work pay off. The team all put in the hours and dedication to see this through and we are grateful for the encouragement we have received from Logistics UK, especially those colleagues that gave their time to provide us with essential support throughout the overnight ride.”

The other team members were Craig Foulkes, Full Stack Developer; Mark Jones, National Training Instructor; Martin Candish, Head of Compliance Information; and Ian Dunn, Strategic Development Manager.  Jerry Kane, Commercial Director; Chris Lipscomb, Director of Operations; and Antony Charnley, Shop Commercial Manager, co-ordinated the support vehicles that provided essential supplies and equipment to support the ride.
