A team of four Close Brothers Motor Finance employees have raised over £1,200 for participating in the London to Brighton bike ride to help raise funds for Cancer Research.

Adam Hammond, Steve Ross, Elliot Bishop and Ian Brown, from the Sevenoaks branch of the company, took part in the 65-mile course between the two major cities on 27 September.

James Broadhead, Close Brothers Motor Finance chief executive, said: “I’d like to commend the efforts of our team. It takes great determination to take part in an event like this and I’m delighted to say that their hard work has helped us to raise even more for a vital cause.

“We’ve had Cancer Research as our charity partner for over a year now and in that time our colleagues across the UK have raised almost £40,000 in total. Our colleagues are already looking for new challenges and new ways to reach out to their communities.”
