restrictions put in place due to the pandemic, the Wilo team made up the total mileage ‘virtually’ on static exercise bikes set up at Wilo’s HQ and out and about individually on road bikes. Maggie’s is a charity providing free cancer support and information in centres across the UK and online. Lee Tebbatt, Managing Director of Wilo UK - a leading manufacturer of water pumps and pump systems - commented, “At Wilo, we’re not ones to shy away from a challenge so we thought an extremely ambitious cycle ride was a great way to raise those all-important funds, as well as getting the team together for a bit of fun as lockdown restrictions begin to ease.” All funds raised will go direct to Maggie’s, donate here: www.justgiving.com/ campaign/wilocycle2021 T: +44 (0)7794 337634 - E: mark.mills@wilo.com - www.wilo.com
