Later this month a team of 15 intrepid riders will set off from John O’Groats to cycle the 900 or so miles down the length of Great Britain to Land’s End. The aim of this adventure is twofold – to complete the ride in 9 days and more importantly to raise as much money as possible for the Help for Heroes charity.

Axiom Executive is pleased to sponsor Andrew McCutcheon and the team in this demanding yet exciting challenge and donate funds to such a worthy cause.
