Executive Recruitment Directors Aim to Raise 20,000 GBP for Charity

August 24, 2006 - Press Dispensary - Archer Mathieson ( http://www.archermat.com ) partners, Ashton Ward and James Aston, will be donning the lycra when they cycle from Land's End to John O'Groats in Spring 2007.

Their aim is to raise money for two charities, Breast Cancer Campaign and Great Ormond Street, and they have achieved pledges already in excess of £10,000. Funds have been bolstered by sponsorship from key clients including Compass Plc, Logicalis Group Services Ltd, TNS Plc & Kamanchi (Systems Consultancy for the recruitment industry).

Despite their busy lives, Ashton and James are upbeat about the gruelling 970 mile challenge, and began training around the roads of Windsor, Maidenhead and Ascot in January 2006.

Ashton Ward comments: "We both enjoy a challenge but this is completely different to anything either of us have ever done before. We appreciate this great opportunity to raise money for two charities, while also hoping to achieve a longstanding personal goal."

James adds: "I'm attempting this in memory of my mother who lost her battle with breast cancer a couple of years ago. I'm sure we'll learn a lot about ourselves on the journey."
