Digger Salesman to get on his Bike for Charity
Holt JCB’s South West regional salesman Paul Butcher and his pal Gus are set to undertake a gruelling Lands End to John O’ Groats charity cycle ride, raising money for the Children’s Hospice South West.
Paul is a familiar face on the South West machinery circuit and certainly gets around the region in his job role, however, by his own admission, he is not a regular cyclist, so facing on average 79 miles per day, this is going to be a massive challenge and we can only admire his efforts for such a worthy cause.
The lads are already in training racking up the miles in the saddle ahead of the official ride start date of 13th September 2024 and there will be various fund-raising activities in the coming months. The fund raising kicked off during the Royal Cornwall Show, where visitors to the Holt JCB stand were invited to donate a £1 to the charity to predict the number of balls in the dumpy bag attached to the JCB 531-70 telehandler, the winner will receive a JCB Goodie bag.
Holt JCB will be supporting the lads throughout the epic 1000 + bike ride, we wish them all the best and look forward to following the lads progress during the event itself.
If you would like to support them, please follow this link to donate to the charity.
