P&A are Riding High
Birmingham business recovery specialists are riding high after taking part in a mammoth cycle challenge in aid of Birmingham Children’s Hospital.
Poppleton & Appleby invited staff and clients to swap their desks for a saddle and cycle 130 miles to mark their landmark 130th anniversary.
Static bikes were installed at the firm’s Birmingham office on Ludgate Hill and a 14-strong team of competitors pedalled from 9am to 5pm to reach the target.
The team has raised over £1,000 for Birmingham Children’s Hospital which supports thousands of children and families across the UK every year.
Matt Hardy, of Poppleton & Appleby which also has an office based in Coventry, said he is delighted with the team’s efforts.
“Everyone was really competitive and enthusiastic to reach the 130 mile target with a number of our clients also joining in throughout the day,” he said.
“It was definitely different to our usual 9 to 5 but it was great to see all of the team helping to raise money for such a great cause.
“Birmingham Children’s Hospital provides vital services to thousands of children in the UK and abroad and we are proud to have supported the charity over a number of years.
“We were also delighted to welcome clients, friends and family to toast to our fundraising success and landmark 130th year at a drinks reception held at Locanta which is located next door.”
