Wiggle and Vane Recuitment have worked together for the past 8 years and when we found out that they wanted some support for their Help for Heroes Charity Day, we were more than keen to help

With an Elite Crono Mag Elastogel Turbo Trainer, Cateye Velo Wireless Cycling Computer and bike in the van, we went along to the Vane Recruitment offices. We were greeted by Steve who had already been on the treadmill for 30 minutes – having started before 7am. Another 48 minutes later, he was definitely ready for his morning coffee when he stepped off! He was followed by Kerry, who added another 45 minutes of effort to the mix

In-keeping with the Hero theme, the requirement for the day was that everybody had to dress up as their personal hero – regardless of whether it was Batgirl, a parent or another influential figure

We then saw “Cavendish” take his rightful place on the turbo trainer and “Bruce Lee” became front-line supporter. Who knew Bruce liked a good ol’ cuppa?!

Vane Recruitment’s co-owner, Natasha Evyvane, was clearly taking the challenge seriously – Wiggle caught her carb-loading with a warming bowl of pre-run porridge. Little did she know that there was a camera lurking!

Natasha explained why Vane Recruitment had seized the opportunity to host the Help for Heroes event:

“Our Office Manager, Cheryl, received a phonecall asking if we could raise awareness about the cause. Then once we figured that we would be able to have loads of fun and raise money for a fantastic charity… well, it was decision made!”

All ages got involved and Natasha’s daughter got in some early running training after temporarily changing out of her cunning disguise as Buzz Lightyear

With oodles of questions about the turbo trainer and our different Wiggle sportives, the Vane Recruitment team are clearly bitten by the cycling bug – as confirmed by their snazzy bell

We’d like to wish Vane Recruitment all the best for their Help for Heroes fundraising and look forward to our continued work with such a cheerful team!
