The team rode from Essex to Yorkshire
The pedalling prowess of tenacious team members at WHM Pet Group has raised £1,400 for Barnardo’s, with a 200 mile cycle ride from Essex to Yorkshire.
Three of WHM Pet Group’s team signed up for the whole ride as a part of the pet food manufacturer’s heritage party last month, celebrating 200 years of family, food and farming, and the relaunch of WHM Pet Group's pet food brand Marriage’s®.
The cyclists rode from Broomfield Mill in Essex where the family business was founded in 1824, to Yorkshire, where WHM Pet Group now has headquarters in Holme Upon Spalding Moor, East Yorkshire.
There were eight legs to the challenge, running over three days. The riders raised a total of £600 via sponsorship and WHM Pet Group matched it and more, to present a total of £1401.00 for Barnardo’s, a charity that works hard for children and young people to be safe, happy, healthy and hopeful.
“We are proud of our team for raising such an impressive amount for Barnardo’s and are delighted to have been able to add to their total,” said Sam Marriage, Managing Director of WHM Pet Group. “Barnardo’s has been changing childhoods and changing lives for over 150 years and it seems very fitting that as we celebrate the business successfully passing through the generations, we are able to show our support for future generations.”
WHM Pet Group supply retailers and farmers with premium quality wild bird, indoor bird, small animal, racing pigeon, pig, poultry and ruminant feeds.
