Congratulations John!

It is with great pleasure that we received the news of John Alvis being awarded an OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List. John has been recognised for services to cheese exports, farming, and rural communities.

Whilst John has been very quick to thank those around him for their continued support in making this possible, we would like to use this opportunity to congratulate John and tell him how proud we all are of this achievement.

Team Alvis – GAFT 2018

Alvis Bros Ltd are proud to share news of their involvement in GAFT 2018, a cycling relay organised by the UK Grain and Feed Trade Association, to raise money for The Farming Community Network (FCN).

 

The FCN is a charity run by volunteers with the aIm of supporting farmers and their families through times of difficulty, whether it be financial difficulties, animal disease, mental health or family disputes. Over 6,000 people per year benefit from the support that the FCN and its network of 400 volunteers can offer.

 

 

Taking place from 19th June through to 31st July, the relay will see representatives from 70 companies taking part. Team Alvis took part on the 28th June, and cycled the 21 miles from Lye Cross Farm to Redstock in the late afternoon sunshine. Representing different areas of the business, Will, Rich, Neil and Dan accepted the baton just after 4:30pm and were underway after a short wait to get on the road. After an entertaining ride and passing  the baton on to the next group, the team enjoyed a well-deserved drink.

 

 

For those wishing to show their support to Team Alvis and the rest of the GAFT cyclists, please donate via justgiving using this link so that the FCN are able to continue their hard work and support.
