Story

This year I am celebrating my 25th year with Enoch Evans LLP. It was my Great-Grandfather, Mr. Enoch Evans (and one time Mayor of Walsall) that founded the firm in 1884 and I represent the fourth generation of the Evans’ family to join the Walsall based firm.


To celebrate my 25th year I am embarking on a 160 mile cycle ride from London to Walsall along canal towpaths with Dr Matthew Dugas from Sycamore House Surgery, Birmingham Road, Walsall and also an old friend Martin Newhouse. In fact, I first attempted this ride 15 years ago but due to bike failure never succeeded; this second attempt is a personal mental challenge as well as a physical one for me as I recently turned 50.


The cycle ride starts on Saturday 18th September and should realistically take three days; despite this fact we are attempting it in two. We will travel along the Grand Union canal towpaths from London to Birmingham, some of which we have been informed are unsuitable for cycling, before turning onto the local canal network to the finish in Walsall.


The ride is not only a celebratory event but also a charitable one as we will be raising money for The Midlands Air Ambulance. The charity is responsible for funding and operating three Air Ambulances serving the Midlands and Welsh border region and is regarded as one of the longest established and busiest Air Ambulance operators in the UK. I am extremely pleased to be sharing my celebration with The Midlands Air Ambulance as we have a long standing relationship with the charity.


Thank you for visiting my page and I very much appreciate any donations that are made.
