NINE workers at Knorr-Bremse Rail Systems in Melksham have raised £850 for Cancer Research UK by cycling 100 miles.

The team finished “The Wrong Way Round” ride from Hyde Park Corner in London to Yatton Keynell in June, taking five hours to complete the journey.

Fellow staff members sponsored their colleagues, while Knorr-Bremse supplied professional cycle wear and covered transport costs.

Managing director Paul Goodhand said: “I am delighted that we were as able to support our employees in taking part in the fundraising event.”
