SLC, celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, has completed another 15 for 15 challenge by cycling for 8 hours on a static bike in Birmingham’s Brindleyplace to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK.
The transport experts capitalised on the excitement of the Tour de France with a static cycle challenge outside their headquarters in Brindleyplace’s Central Square.
Colleagues from SLC Rail and SLC Property took on their own ‘stage’ throughout the day and raised £1.25k for Prostate Cancer UK. The team collectively cycled 250 km, which is equivalent to the distance from SLC’s headquarters in Birmingham to the company’s northern team in Manchester and back.
SLC has made a substantial impact on the railway in 15 years through work on rail strategies, new railway stations, master planning, and refurbishment and renewal schemes.
Ian Walters, SLC’s Managing Director, participated in one of the stages. He said: “Over our 15-year journey, giving back to society has always been important for us, so we wanted to organise 15 challenges or acts of kindness as part of our anniversary celebration. We have many more events planned to engage the entire company throughout the year.
“This challenge was fantastic showcasing teamwork in action with various parts of our business getting involved. We were delighted to receive generous support, with people in the Brindleyplace area donating and engaging with the charity’s literature.”
A big thank you to everyone who participated in the challenge and to the team at Brindleyplace and Bannatynes for their support in making it happen.
