Mason Advisory was part of Cisco’s Leaderboard Team Relay Triathlon Challenge 2016 which raised well over GBP250 000 this weekend for Sport Relief.

On Sunday 03 July, 127 teams took part in the event at Dorney Lake – the scene of many of Team GB’s rowing successes during the London 2012 Olympics – including two from Mason Advisory. Each team had to undertake six legs, each comprising a 200m swim, 5.4km bike ride, and a 1500m run.

Despite competing against Team GB triathletes – including BBC Breakfast’s Louise Minchin and Cisco’s CEO for UK & Ireland, Phil Smith – Mason Advisory managed to come in a creditable 6th and 62nd. Olympic medallists Steve Backley and Roger Black were on hand to take part and present prizes for the fastest overall team and fastest individual performances.

Mason Advisory CEO, Steve Watmough, said: “Massive congratulations are due to Cisco for pulling this off. It was a very refreshing way to remember that fun and friendships are what really sustain our businesses. A fantastic amount of money has been raised for Sport Relief, and we’d love to play a part in continuing that work in future.”
