Also it was a fantastic opportunity to raise money for some very worthy charities and everyone’s generosity kept me going through the damp cold weather that we had.” Commenting on Countrywide's involvement in The Great Tour, Alison Platt, Chief Executive Officer, Countrywide plc, said: “Our national network means we were brilliantly placed to involve many of our people across the UK in the ride. Our people raised a huge amount of money for local charities as well as building a sense of one team across the group. I’m really proud of what we’ve achieved.” -Ends- Photo: Stage 27, 30 July 2015 - Chepstow to Cardiff Photo: Stage 38, 10 August 2015 - Margate to Rye Press Contacts Christine Webb Group Press Office Manager +44(0)7721 439043 Contact Follow us on Twitter © Countrywide 2015 Careers/ Graduates/ Privacy/ Cookies/ Terms of Use/ Site Map Our website uses cookies so that we can provide a better service.
