Yale Lifts Brakes on Charity Ride

Three employees of Brakes have raised thousands of pounds for charity with a little help from lift truck manufacturer Yale.

Staff from Brakes UK rode 152 miles from Whitehaven to Sunderland sporting kits sponsored by Yale Europe. Their epic challenge raised £3,400 for three charities - Operation Smile, Halton Haven (local hospice) and Cancer Research UK.

Brakes employs over 9,000 people in 70 locations and is the UK’s leading supplier to the catering industry.

Richard Czepukojc, Yale Europe’s marketing communications executive, said of the challenge: “Brakes UK has been a key Yale customer for many years and we were delighted to help support their charity ride.”

Yale is one of Europe’s fastest-growing forklift truck brands, producing a full range of forklift trucks and warehouse equipment in capacities from 1000kg to 16000 kg.
