The four-strong team led by newest recruit Mark Parkes, trading manager, has signed up for the Richmond Runfest Half Marathon – a British Heart Foundation (BHF) event on the weekend of September 14 and 15.
“A half-marathon will be a challenge for some of the team at SR Timber, and we know that we can raise a lot of money for the BHF – but if we know we’re competing against others such as timber firms, it’ll spur us on to be the first team across the line and the ones who present the BHF with the biggest amount,” said Mr Parkes.
“We’d love to hear from anyone from right across the industry – from timber importers to merchants to roofing contractors and housebuilders – who are up for the challenge of running a half-marathon and raising money for a lifesaving cause.”
Teams from SR Timber have previously climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and driven in a rally across Europe – raising more than £10,000 for a number of charities.
Anyone wanting to accept the challenge can contact Mr Parkes on MarkParkes@sr-timber.com.
