Epic charity cyclist drops in to say thanks!

Posted 3 years ago •

A charity cyclist who rode more than 9,000 miles from the UK to Australia to raise money for good causes is back on home soil – and dropped in to thank a local backer.

Pictured left to right are Svetlana Kirov, Carers Trust Executive Director of Fundraising, Carers Trust Philanthropy Manager Fionn Cremin, Jon Smethurst, BLGC Marketing and Brand Manager, Andrew Crompton, Pertemps Chair Carmen Watson, and Marcia Rock, Office Manager for Crompton Family Investments.

Businessman Andrew Crompton set off from Bolton in July last year to cycle all the way to Melbourne.

Passing through 18 countries, he has raised more than £200,000 for The Carers Trust and Bolton’s Lads and Girls Club (BLGC), and this week paid a flying visit to Pertemps, in Meriden, to thank employees for their support of his adventure.

Pertemps Network Group was a main sponsor of his epic escapade and welcomed Andrew, to their Meriden Hall headquarters. The last time Andrew was there was on day two of the 235-day ride last July.
