Phil Spencer takes to the water to raise cash during marathon for Agents Giving

The patron of the property industry’s charity joined other key figures in raising money during a 350-mile paddle.

Agents Giving patron, TV presenter Phil Spencer, joined Andy Trantum of Embrace Mortgage Services for the 17-mile Marlow to Windsor leg of the paddle on July 1 – the hottest day of the year so far.

Trantum’s paddle took him just 20 days, averaging 17 miles per day during the event, which raised £8,500 for Agents Giving.

He and outdoor pursuits expert Danny Hodge were joined on other legs by Jon Cooke from Your Move, Rob Caldwell of Lenwell, and Tracey Douglas-Jones of Davis Tate.

Another Agents Giving fundraiser, in June, The Soapbox Challenge, organised by Agency Express, brought teams together at Penn House in Buckinghamshire, where they designed and raced their own karts.

Agents Giving Day on June 19 was another day which saw industry figures coming together to do something positive for charity.

The next big date in the diary for Agents Giving is the ball on September 25 at the Marriott in Grosvenor Square, London, where the charity will be announcing its fundraising champions for 2015, to be presented by Phil Spencer.
