PVL have taken up the Gatwick Diamond Business (gdb) Challenge, which is tasked to raise funds for the charities which reside locally.

In previous years gdb have raised thousands of pounds by fit people climbing the three highest mountains in the country or the 24 Peaks of the Lake District. This year they are planning to be different and create an exciting charity challenge that raises more money and involves more companies and individuals than ever before.

On Saturday 11th of May 2013 twelve cars, provided by Coulsdon Audi and branded by us with four drivers per car, will meet at 5am at Basepoint Business Centre on Manor Royal.

The cars will be going head to head with Jeremy Taylor (CEO), David Montgomery (Treasurer) and Steve Pullen (Chairman) who will be travelling to Monaco via public transport! There is no more than 30 minutes in it so it's going to be an extremely tight race.

Each Team is tasked with raising £1,000 per car, but if Jeremy raises in excess of £1,000 then he’ll wear a Kermit the Frog outfit for the last two hours of the journey into Monaco. #isjeremykermit?
