Members of the Arch UK preservative sales team are taking to the roads – training for the arduous UK Coast to Coast cycle ride.

The team will be riding to raise money for the Timber Trades’ Benevolent Society (TTBS), which provides support to individuals who have served within the timber trade and are in need of financial help.

Avid mountain biker Chris Smith, Arch’s regional sales manager for the north of England, is co-ordinating the event. “This cycle marathon is essentially an internal team-building exercise – but what better way to enhance the motivation of the team than by working for a worthy cause such as the TTBS?”
