Barclays Wealth staff hosted an indoor team triathlon last month in aid of its charities of the year BallaAfrica and Crossroads Caring for Carers. Teams of up to 6 people from a number of organisations across the Island descended on the Barclays Wealth branch in Victoria Street across two days for the challenge which involved climbing, rowing and cycling. The goal was to row 82 miles from Douglas to Liverpool, cycle the 37.77 miles of the TT Course four times and climb the 620 metres of Snaefell eight times. 7 teams took part including Barclays Wealth, SMP, KPMG, Cube, Friends Provident International, Carrefour and Manx Telecom. The exercise machines used in the challenge were kindly supplied by Carrefour who also provided shower and changing facilities. Head of local markets in the Isle of Man, Andy Booth said: ‘We’ve had a great couple of days in the branch, managing to exceed our ?5000 fundraising target and raising altogether ?8450 for the two charities. I would like to thank all of the teams who took part and Carrefour for very kindly providing the exercise machines and changing facilities. I would also like to thank Barclays customers for their generous donations throughout the day.’ ENDS
