Web Company goes for a run
Monday, 26th September 2011
Swansea-based web design and developers NetBop joined more than 3,500 runners in the annual Admiral Swansea Bay 10K event.
The team of 6 all rose to the challenge after it was casually suggested several months ago if anyone in the office wanted to participate.
NetBop was founded nine years ago by Company Director, Andrew Downie. He said it’s great to have the full support of his team and especially so as he prepares for the final 2 weeks of training before the Liverpool Marathon in October.
“It’s excellent that the whole office got behind the run and managed to raise some money for both the Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity and the Neath Port Talbot Cancer Carers Group. Everyone fully enjoyed the event and there are already talks of running it again next year”
