We’re excited to announce that a team from Thistle Seafoods will be taking on the Pedal the Peaks challenge from Wednesday 16th to Friday 18th July 2025, cycling through the stunning (and steep!) Peak District National Park – all in support of an incredible cause: GroceryAid.

GroceryAid is a UK charity that provides emotional, financial, and practical support to people working in the grocery industry – from factory floors and shop tills to head offices and delivery drivers. Whether it’s help with mental health, unexpected financial hardship, or navigating life’s big challenges, GroceryAid is there 24/7 for those who need it.

At Thistle Seafoods, we are proud to be part of the food manufacturing community – and we know how vital GroceryAid’s services are to so many in our industry. That’s why our team is gearing up to conquer the hills and raise funds to ensure no one in our sector has to face hardship alone.

The Team:

Robin Macfarlane - Head of Technical

Martin Stephen - Finance Manager

Stephen Gaunt - National Account Manager

Lynsey Beat - National Account Manager
