Burbidge boss goes the extra mile for charity
Published:  08 December, 2009

As the managing director of one of the UK’s leading kitchen manufacturers, Ben Burbidge is used to going the extra mile in order to stay off competitors and remain at the forefront of the industry. Next March, however, he will face a challenge of a different kind as he prepares to take part in the Dallaglio Cycle Slam.

Led by rugby legend, Lawrence Dallaglio, the 2,800 km cycle ride starts off in Rome and goes across Europe over 28 gruelling days in February and March 2010, stopping in Nice, Paris, London, Cardiff, Dublin and Edinburgh and all the six nations rugby stadiums en route. All money raised will be split between Sport Relief and the Dallaglio Foundation, which supports Help for Heroes, Leukaemia Research and many other charities.

Having undergone months of training, Ben will join the last leg of the journey, starting in Rosslare on Sunday 7th March 2010 and arriving 360 miles later in Edinburgh, in time for the Calcutta Cup. 

Talking about the challenge ahead, Ben said: “Sports Relief and the Dallaglio Foundation are both fantastic charities, which provide much needed help in third world countries, as well as causes much closer to home. As I get closer to my aim of raising £5,000, I would be extremely grateful for any donations small or large which can be made by visiting:www.justgiving.com/Ben-Burbidge.”

Burbidge is the longest established, leading UK kitchen frontals and accessories manufacturer.  The company’s products can be viewed in realistic room sets at its showroom in Coventry.  Please call 024 7667 1600 or visit www.burbidge.co.uk for further information.
