Freixenet Copestick will be collectively travelling the distance from our office in Newbury, to our Freixenet headquarters in Barcelona, onto our Head Office in Wiesbaden, Germany, then back to the UK, stopping off at our English winery in Bolney, before returning to Newbury.

Split into teams, we will be running, walking, cycling or swimming the 2407.4 miles over the month of May.

But why are we doing this?

We are avid supporters of the charity GroceryAid, who provide relief to any colleague within the grocery industry experiencing tough times. Whether it be emotional, financial, practical or legal support they require, GroceryAid has a service to help.

May is also National Walking month and Mental Health Awareness Week, the perfect time to get moving, clear your head and connect with colleagues. Whether it’s a quick lunchtime stroll, a walking 1:1 or a telephone call walking the car park, every mile counts including evenings and weekends.
