Darlington to London in 8.5 hours
The staff based at the Darlington offices of JBW undertook a relay bike-a-thon to cycle the distance between the Darlington and London offices. A team of 12 set up the bicycle in the corner of the office and were challenged to complete the distance between 9am and 5pm in aid of Comic Relief.

Given that it takes about 5 hours to complete the journey in a car, the team did really well to cover the 252 miles in just under 8½ hours. Every participant was required to cover four miles in under 10 minutes. The team raised £240 and various other activities took place in other offices bringing the total donated for Comic Relief to £467.23.

Richard Ashcroft, Contact Centre Manager at the JBW Darlington Office said; “Through the support of everyone in the office we achieved our goal and raised £240 as result. Needless to say there were sore legs aplenty after the challenge but it was all for a great cause.”
