Close Brothers Motor Finance raise nearly £13k for charity

Close Brothers Motor Finance employees have raised  £12,898.47 for Great Ormond Street Hospital through a series of charity events.

In a bid to raise money for the charity, employees from the business took part in a range of fundraising initiatives, including a 1,300 mile cycling challenge between all of Close Brothers Motor Finance’s offices. This cycling event saw John Murphy, Account Manager at the Sheffield Branch, covering the largest distance (140 miles).

The money raised for Great Ormond Street Hospital will go towards purchasing special cots which help babies maintain temperature while they are in the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit.

James Broadhead, CEO of Close Brothers Motor Finance said “I’d like to commend the efforts of all those who took part in charity initiatives to raise funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital. From the great determination shown by our staff who took part in our cycle challenge, to the dealers and employees who dug deep to bid on our silent auction, everyone has played their part in helping us raise even more money for such a vital charity and cause.”
