The staff at FIRA, one of Stevenage's oldest established companies on Gunnelswood Road since 1963, are raising money for the Garden House Hospice with a cycling challenge. Stephen McPartland, Member of Parliament for Stevenage launched the challenge with FIRA’s Chief Operating Officer, Phil Reynolds. Staff from FIRA and The Furniture Ombudsman are raising money for the Garden House Hospice charity by cycling 874 miles, the distance from Lands End to John O’Groats, on an exercise bike.
Stephen said, "The staff at FIRA and The Furniture Ombudsman really are going the extra mile for the Garden House Hospice and I was delighted to launch the challenge. I have done a few miles myself to help hit the target and support this amazing fundraising effort."
FIRA’s Chief Operating Officer, Phil Reynolds, who had the idea for the challenge, said, "We are really pleased that Stephen McPartland MP joined us to launch the challenge. We will be asking our furniture industry members for support and I hope that we can raise much needed funds to help support the work of the Hospice.”
