FOLLOWING a year of fundraising activities, ranging from baking to physical challenges, Kingspan Insulation was proud to present a cheque for £6,628.34 to Arthritis Research UK, a charity which works to reduce the pain suffered by those living with arthritis.
Kingspan Insulation’s divisional commercial director set the sales team a goal to raise as much money as possible for a chosen charity during 2014. Arthritis Research UK was nominated, and each team within the sales department was given one of three major challenges to complete, one of which included a cycling challenge through the Pyrénées, climbing the Col du Aspin (1,489m) and the Tourmalet (2,115m).
Chris Guest, divisional commercial director at Kingspan Insulation said “The team included some really serious and talented athletes and I know the day’s ride tested each and every one of them to the core.”
