Eriez Ride 55 miles for Charity
Four Eriez teams recently took part in the annual Ty Hafan Taff Trail Cycle Challenge and raised £3266.70 for the Welsh Children’s Hospice Charity. Two of the teams cycled 55 miles from Brecon in Mid Wales, down alongside the River Taff, across several mountains and down to the coast at Cardiff Bay. The other two teams joined the Taff Trail at the half way point in Merthyr and cycled the remaining 28 miles.
Eriez Superheroes for Ty Hafan
Some of the world’s best known Superheroes put in an appearance at Eriez Magnetics Europe Ltd, in aid of Tŷ Hafan, the Children’s Hospice in Wales. The gauntlet was thrown down to Eriez Directors Paul Fears and John Curwen to appear as Superheroes, in order to raise funds for Tŷ Hafan. The Directors agreed, provided that Eriez employees raise £500 in sponsorship within one week. The final amount raised was £800.
Eriez Play Football for Ty Hafan
The Eriez ‘Eroes 5-a-side football team took part in the annual Ty Hafan charity football tournament staged in Cardiff, UK. The team was comprised of employees from across the company and family and friends of employees, captained by Sales Director, John Curwen. With help from Eriez employees Dai Knee and Martin Jenkins, the team raised over £730 in sponsorship for Ty Hafan.
Alexandra Helps Build Lives
Last year, Eriez Europe helped Alexandra Phillips fulfil a life-changing expedition to Kenya through the donation made towards her trip. Alexandra, daughter of Jayne Jamieson, Finance Director of Eriez Europe, travelled to Ulamba in Kenya where she dedicated her time to the children of the local community and completed the mammoth task of building an early development centre.
Eriez Gives to Local Community
In spirit of the festive season, Eriez Europe wanted to help those in the local community have a better Christmas by donating gift boxes filled with food, toiletries and confectionery.
