In 2019 I participated in The Colt Charity Bike Ride where 130 Colt employees cycling 540 kilometres over four days, across Germany and Austria. Its Colt’s single largest Corporate Social Responsibility event, and over the past seven years, Colt has raised more than €1m for charities across 16 countries that support underprivileged children. I supported Richard House Children’s Hospice in the UK. Below is a video from the event.
