We had a rather unexpected delivery here at Yes Response recently when one of our client contacts from JCB arrived with an Olympic Torch in hand! Dave Allen carried the torch through Gnosall on 30th May 2012, and very kindly brought it in for a visit at Yes Response.
Dave has always been a keen athlete and has represented Staffordshire for 5 consecutive years in cross country and is a 2010 British Masters club team cross country silver medalist. He has also been actively involved in athlectics during his 23 years working at JCB, taking part in the 5 mile ‘fun run’ for the last 23 years, forming part of the JCB team that did the ‘3 peaks’ run and completing a London to Paris cycle ride with a number of JCB colleagues. Dave has also been helping his fellow JCB employees to get into running, organising an after-work ‘learn to run’ group to pass on his experience and encouragement to those neew to running.
The Yes Response team were very excited to see the Olympic Torch and we got some great pictures of members of the team holding it!
