Jim Bertram, Head of Business Vauxhall, completes 400 miles in 4 days across 4 countries

07 May 2023


4 Home Nations. 100 Mile Tour.

Jim Bertram, the Head of Business at Vauxhall, recently completed an incredible cycling tour covering over 400 miles in just four days with his friend Steven. The tour took him across four countries - Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and England, and was in aid of the Kris Boyd Charity, which raises funds to support mental health.

Jim's tour was a challenge of endurance, stamina and mental strength. He pushed himself to the limit, cycling through some of the most challenging terrains and weather conditions to raise awareness and support for the Kris Boyd Charity.

Starting in Northern Ireland, Jim cycled through the beautiful Welsh coastline, before tackling the Scottish borders, and finally reaching England's Midlands. Throughout the journey, Jim faced steep hills, unpredictable weather conditions, and a number of other challenges. Unsupported and with 2-5 hours of travel between each location. Jim states 'without a doubt my hardest challenge completed'. 

Despite these obstacles, Jim successfully completed the tour, raising valuable funds for the Kris Boyd Charity. The charity aims to provide support for people dealing with mental health issues, and Jim's efforts have helped to raise awareness and much-needed funds for this important cause.

Jim's tour was not just a physical challenge, but a reminder of the importance of supporting mental health. By taking on this challenge, he has demonstrated the power of perseverance, determination, and teamwork in achieving a goal and supporting a worthy cause.

Overall, Jim Bertram's cycling tour was a huge success, both in terms of raising funds for the Kris Boyd Charity and in highlighting the importance of mental health support. Jim's dedication and commitment to the cause is truly admirable, and his achievement is an inspiration to all. A huge congratulations from everyone here at Startin Group, a true inspiration.
