My story
TILE GIANT SUPPORTING DONNA LOUISE
Help the team! From 2nd June Nick Rose, Mark Finbow, Matt Hollinshead, Mike Hughes and Adam Beebee are setting off on a fundraising bikeathon to help support the Donna Louise Trust. Starting at Portsmouth they will endure a 700 mile trip to the finish line in Edinburgh, calling in at 30 stores enroute.
The team consists of:
Jim Carpenter - 'Roadie' JC will be lending his vocal support in the Tile Giant van
Mark Finbow - A lean RD of all the southern stores, Mark is powered by witty sarcasm and the thought of his kids making donations from his phone.
Matt Hollinshead - If he is not sleeping he is eating, and when he is not doing either there is something wrong! Another lean cyclist with hollow legs.
Michael Hughes - The nightclub enthusiast from Burnley, Mike is always involved in funding for the Donna Louise Trust having recently supported a colleague in a 'Baked Bean Bath Challenge'
Nick Rose - The OD of Tile Giant, there's not much that gets past this gym fanatic, other than a cheeky chicken burger!!!
Adam Beebee - already a nearly professional cyclist from the Cannock store
