The two‑day challenge, held last month, took riders through Wales, Worcestershire and the Cotswolds, with steep climbs and long stretches in the saddle. The annual event brought together colleagues from across Platform Housing Group, contractors and partner organisations, all riding in support of the organisation’s corporate charity partner. A dedicated support crew followed the route, providing refreshments, mechanical help and morale boosts at key points along the way. He said knowing they had already raised more than £13,000 for Macmillan made 'every mile worthwhile'. Platform’s chief people and excellence officer, Clare Durnin, said the ride 'perfectly reflects the values we see across Platform every day', and called the fundraising total 'an incredible start' to the organisation’s 2026–28 charity partnership with Macmillan.
