Participants smashed it at Beard’s recent charity Cyclathon, raising over £20,140 while clocking up hundreds of cycling miles.
Coupled with a contribution of £23,460 from the Beard Charitable Foundation, the event generated thousands to support young people across Oxfordshire.
Spearheaded by Senior Bid Manager Luke Bennett and Beard's Oxford office, the event took place at the Iffley Road Sports Complex and brought together 32 teams from across the construction industry.
Architects, engineers, surveyors and project managers each took their turn in the saddle, cycling hundreds of miles collectively in a bid to top the leaderboard and raise as much money as possible.
The Cyclathon was in support of the Oxford University Sport and Community Partnership. This initiative, a collaboration between the University of Oxford and local business leaders, helps young people access inspiring sports and enrichment activities that may otherwise be out of reach.
