CIE's TEAM AKUVOX take on Cahors Cycle Challenge

This September, the CIE team of staff will take on their annual challenge of cycling 500+ miles through France in just 3 days!

We have previously raised over £40,000 for a variety of deserving charities doing the cycling challenges. This year we will be supporting British Heart Foundation and Cancer Research, as well as NHS Charities Together by supporting NHS Charities in their work, we can help the NHS to go above and beyond what would normally be possible and ensure that everyone can have better healthcare.

Please help us with support for these amazing charities by sponsoring the team now.

This year we have a brand new Team sponsor and Team colours; huge thanks to Akuvox for their generous support - which also celebrates the Akuvox  / CIE distribution partnership. Also a big thanks to Yesss Electrical for their sponsorship!
