Jewson staff across the North of England walked 130 miles from Widnes to Hull - and raised £30,000 for charity, this month.

Insulation specialist Actis was one of a number of Jewson suppliers that provided activities and information along the route.

Actis Regional Sales Director Jemma Harris and Area Sales Managers Karolina Taylor and Louise South ran stands on three of the five days on which the event took place, inviting the Jewson team, their customers and passers by to try their hands at installing Hybris into a mock timber frame in exchange for an Actis-branded T-shirt.

The event saw staff from 13 branches and seven business units take part, with the proceeds being shared between two charities.: long-estabished Barnardo's cares for vulnerable children, while Band of Builders helps members of the construction industry when times get tough, through projects, advice and support.
