Bibby Distribution has been a Transaid member company since 2001 and, during that time, Driver Development Manager Brian Riddle has completed three volunteer assignments in Uganda, Malawi and, most recently, Kenya.
Accompanied by Regional Driver Trainer, Dave Smith, Brian spent two weeks in Kenya training health service drivers in Coast and North East provinces to become driver trainers and assessors and you can read more about their experience here.
On his return, Brian decided that he wanted to do even more to help and has just announced that he is organising two Bibby teams to row the Lake District's Three Lakes - Ullswater, Coniston and Windermere, in April 2007 and raise vital funds for our work.
Chris Saunders, Transaid's CEO, comments: "Brian and Dave had a big impact on the ground in Kenya, and we are delighted that Brian has been inspired to undertake this gruelling challenge on our behalf. A big thank you to everyone at Bibby who has got involved over the years, and we are looking forward to celebrating their bi-centenary with them in 2007!"
Bibby staff across the country have also been fundraising by buying our Michelin Man pin badges, which are available in all their depots.
