Supermarket staff in a spin for charity challenge

The workers together rode 526 miles of the 238,900 ridden by staff across the company.

The store, in Kineton Road industrial estate, beat its target of £1 for every mile, raising £594 as part of the firm’s £10 million fundraising target.

Martina Fitzgerald, the store’s community champion, said: “Although the event was a tall order, four bikes and nine hours later we pushed on till the bitter end.

“The customers were so supportive and very generous. We can’t thank them enough.”
