SCOTLAND. Today’s selection comes from Scotland where Edrington Group hosted an epic cycle for a good cause.
On 4 and 5 September, 80 colleagues from across EMEIA – including members of the Global Travel Retail team – took part in Edrington’s annual EPIC charity cycle.
Covering 210km, the route tested endurance and camaraderie in equal measure. Starting at Edinburgh’s Arthur’s Seat, riders journeyed through the Borders to Berwick-upon-Tweed, before tackling the Pentland Hills and returning to the capital.
The event exemplified Edrington’s Giving More ethos and raised funds for two Scottish charities: Cyrenians and Include Me 2 Club.
Cyrenians supports those facing homelessness in Edinburgh, while Include Me 2 Club provides inclusive opportunities for people with disabilities and mental health conditions in Glasgow.
With £140,000 (US$189,000) already raised and the total still growing, the ride stands as a powerful example of Edrington’s commitment to ‘giving more’ to its communities. ✈
