Nine staff from Linley & Simpson in Yorkshire undertook a 70-mile charity bike ride to celebrate the county’s hosting of the start of this year’s Tour de France.

The team completed their route from York to Leeds via Ripon, Harrogate and Ilkley in a day, raising money for Martin House Children’s Hospice at Boston Spa – the company’s inaugural charity of the year.

The riders had originally aimed to raise £20,000 but chalked up £25,000.

Congratulations to Will Linley and colleagues Martin Elliott, Danny Tasker, Derryn Ward, Kim Smith, Dan Bond, Paul Bridgeman, Greg Smallwood and Ross Harding.

The company has also shown its own entente cordiale by launching a limited edition of For Sale and To Let boards featuring the iconic yellow jersey.
