National Buying Group (NBG) chairman David Szymanski is will be cycling from Lands’ End to John O’Groats to support disadvantaged students.
David, who was previously managing director of Hanson Building Products and is a former non-executive director of the Building Research Establishment, is undertaking the journey as part of the Worshipful Company of Tylers and Bricklayers Charitable Trust’s charity appeal.
The ride, which began on Sunday 22 May and finishes on Tuesday 31, will see David stop at locations including Wookey Hole in Somerset, Ludlow, Wigan, Penrith and Fort Augustus, with the aim of gathering support from National Buying Group’s UK-wide network of Partners along the way.
David will be contributing to the Charitable Trust’s main charitable focus – sponsoring the education of students from disadvantaged backgrounds at Christ’s Hospital, a and has set up a JustGiving page to support his efforts.
“Though I hadn’t initially planned for this to be a charity ride, I soon realised I could do what I loved while raising money for a cause close to my heart,” explained David. “The journey will undoubtedly be daunting, but I am hoping to be spurred on by plenty of NBG colleagues along the way.”
