On Sunday, 15th July 2024, ‘Team Auctus’, consisting of Richard Toy, Sean Harrison, Paul Morse, Ryan Spence, Simon Capper, Thomas Harris, Steven Broadfield, and Darren Simms, completed the Pedal To Normandy 2024 challenge. The dedicated team of eight cyclists successfully conquered a 399 km journey, which included over 4000 feet of climbing.
Team Auctus cycled across Normandy on a four-day charity bike ride, raising essential funds towards The Royal British Legion charities Poppy Appeal. As proud Armed Forces Gold Covenant Award members, Auctus Management Group, and it’s subsidiary members, work in partnership with schemes that help ex-forces members transition into a new and progressive career, that matches the skills and attributes they have developed. With the growing skills shortage, the company collaborates with the UK’s Ministry of Defence to give people leaving the Armed Forces the chance to retrain and build a successful career within the rail and infrastructure sector.
Team Auctus Custom Jersey
Owayo manufactured the team’s jersey. It features the RBL logo and the soldiers’ silhouettes, and the battlefield of Normandy, created as a reminder of the Fallen and those who continue to serve. The marketing team designed the custom jersey in-house, prominently displaying the logos of 17 corporate sponsors.
