Select Appointments, part of Randstad - the world’s second largest recruitment and HR services company, recently sent three of its most high profile employees on the ‘Select Way Round’, a gruelling 14 day charity motor bike ride covering 17 countries and based on the famous ‘Long Way Round’ undertaken by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman. The initiative is the company’s biggest commitment yet to giving something back to the community and raising funds for Tomorrow's People.
Director, Rod Jackson, Development Manager, David Buist and Commercial Account Director, Lee Davies, set off on their challenging journey on 11th September and will spend two weeks travelling across numerous countries visiting overseas offices and colleagues on the way. Their journey can be tracked through their website
selectwayround.co.ukThe ride is no easy feat and the team often find themselves spending 18 hours in the saddle riding bikes which when laden weigh almost a third of a ton. In all 30,000 miles will be covered on the journey and they are scheduled to arrive back through the Channel Tunnel at approximately 12 noon on Wednesday 24th September, for their last leg back to Head Office in Luton.
In total the initiative aims to raise a fantastic £30,000 for Tomorrow’s People a charity that is committed to helping change the lives of thousands across the UK by breaking the cycle of unemployment so that people can take positive control of their lives and build a brighter future.
