Construction firm contractors complete charity challenge

Employees of construction company Kier Central have taken part in a challenge using a wheelbarrow and other forms of transport to help boost good causes.

They visited various sites in the county for the Kier Construction Group 2020 nationwide challenge aiming to raise over £200,000 for charity.

Cheltenham's Kier Central team included mascots, cyclists and roller skaters who passed on a relay baton from The Brewery Quarter, via Cheltenham Ladies College to Shire Hall, Gloucester where they met the Mayor of Gloucester.

The baton then went from Gloucester to Oxford via Gloucester Ski slope and the Duke of Gloucester barracks at Cirencester before it landed at Oxford Business Park to be picked up by a team from Kier's Newbury office.

It is now on its way to Cornwall to complete the journey from Kier's most northerly construction site in Orkney to its most southerly site in Truro.

Pictured are Kier staff who took part in the challenge at Gloucester Ski slope and outside Shire Hall, Gloucester where they were welcomed by the city's Mayor.
