Robin Bryant has been raising money for the Royal British Legion for several months in the run up to his Pedal to Paris challenge, and Rolton Group gladly sponsored his efforts.
Although he fundraises for a different charity every year, this cause is particularly close to Robin’s heart; he served as a Gunner in the 25 Field Regiment Royal Artillery and 3rd regiment royal horse artillery between 1984-19990, completing tours in Germany, Canada, and Northern Ireland.
The gruelling ride took place from the 4th to the 8th September, covering 460km across England and France before finishing on the cobbles of the Arc de Triomphe; it is the only event for which the roads around this area are closed, with the exception of the Tour de France, allowing the 300 cyclists to finish their ride in complete safety.
Following completion of the challenge, Robin and his fellow cyclists took part in a formal ceremony to commemorate the members of the Armed Forces for whom they have been fundraising, and to pay respects to the sacrifices they have made.
Having set himself an original target of £5,000, which in itself would have been no mean feat, he has exceeded all expectations and his total now stands at an incredible £8,000. We would like to offer our warmest congratulations to Robin on the hard work he has put into completing the ride, and are proud to have sponsored him for such an important cause.
Working with Dorchester Living, Rolton has developed an ambitious new energy strategy that combines digital innovation, embedded renewable energy, and a clear trajectory towards net zero for their Heyford Park development in Oxfordshire.
This year Centreco, a UK leading commercial solar energy system design, installation and management organisation are exhibiting and sponsoring for the first time and have invited Rolton to partner in providing their thinking and content for two sessions focused on energy and technology, bringing thinking around this topic to the show.
IMPACT Magazine recently featured Rolton Chair, Peter Rolton and our white paper “Powering the 2035 Industrial and Data-Driven Revolution” which calls for the energy and real estate worlds to coalesce to attract the investment for infrastructure the UK needs.
