KING STURGE ANNIVERSARY BIKE RIDE RAISES £7,500 FOR GOOD CAUSES

Staff at the Bristol office of international property consultants King Sturge have raised around £7,500 in a 150-mile charity bike ride.

The event was part of King Sturge‘s 1760 Charity Appeal, which aims to raise a total of £250,000 for good causes as part of the firm‘s nationwide 250th anniversary celebrations.

A total of 22 members of staff cycled from the firm‘s Berkeley Square office through Somerset and Devon and down to their counterparts in Plymouth, forming part of a nationwide relay which saw King Sturge employees cycle 1,200 miles between the firm‘s network of 16 offices, beginning in Glasgow and finishing in London‘s West End.

Jeremy Richards, partner in charge at the firm‘s Bristol office, said: “Reaching the 250 years milestone is a tremendous achievement for King Sturge, simply because there just aren‘t many businesses out there with such a rich heritage.

“However, while we are tremendously proud of our history, we also view ourselves as being a forward thinking business so, rather than sit back and reflect on what the firm has achieved in the last 250 years, we wanted to do something proactive which focuses on what is happening around us and how we can influence that.

“Therefore 2010 and the 1760 Charity Appeal gives us the perfect springboard to help others in society less fortunate than ourselves and to hopefully help others in the future.”
