Two members of Cheshire-based property consultancy Legat Owen have successfully completed an extraordinary 400km cycling challenge in just 40 hours, raising funds for local charities as part of the firm's 40th anniversary celebrations.
Gareth Joyce and Elliot Jones took on the gruelling challenge earlier this month, cycling from Chester to Holyhead and back. Covering 248 miles across North Wales and Cheshire, the pair demonstrated remarkable endurance and determination.
The challenge forms part of Legat Owen’s year-long programme of fundraising activities to mark its 40th anniversary. The firm has set an ambitious target of raising £40,000 for four local charities:
- Save the Family
- The Wingate Centre
- The Joshua Tree
- RASASC Cheshire & Merseyside
The cyclists were joined on sections of the route by colleagues Will Sadler, Matt Pochin, Will Rees and Sam Tarjomani, who provided encouragement and support along the way.
Matt Pochin, Managing Director of Legat Owen, said: “What Gareth and Elliot have achieved is nothing short of exceptional. Covering 400 kilometres in 40 hours requires incredible physical and mental resilience, and everyone at Legat Owen is immensely proud of their achievement.
“As we celebrate our 40th anniversary, we wanted to give something back to the communities that have supported us throughout our journey. This challenge perfectly reflects the commitment, teamwork and determination that underpin our business, while helping to raise vital funds for four incredibly deserving local charities.
“We are very grateful to everyone who has donated, supported the riders and cheered them on throughout the challenge. Every contribution brings us closer to our goal of raising £40,000.”
Legat Owen is continuing to welcome donations as part of its anniversary fundraising campaign, with all funds going directly to support the four chosen charities.
The company’s 40-strong team advises on all aspects of commercial property and land for both commercial and residential development.
