Taking inspiration from the Queen's
Baton Relay in the lead-up to the Commonwealth Games, The Best Connection have
launched Tour De Best Connection. We will have two TBC batons that must make
their way to our Head Office, Topaz by Thursday 28th July! One baton will start
in Glasgow and the other in Truro, and sticking to a set route, the batons must
head to Topaz visiting each branch along the way. 

Alongside the baton's journey, our
North and South branches are going head to head to see who can achieve a distance
of 800 miles first. We are all working together in our branches and
departments to achieve our miles in many ways including walking,
running, cycling, swimming, horse riding or any other way of getting from A to
B that you can think of! 

Due to the expanse
of our branch network, we play an important role in our local communities. An
aim of our Corporate Social Responsibility approach is to make the communities
in which we operate better places.

Here at the Exeter branch, we have chosen to support Exeter
Foodbank. Every day people in the UK go hungry for reasons
ranging from redundancy to receiving an unexpected bill on a low income. A
simple box of food makes a big difference, with foodbanks helping prevent
crime, housing loss, family breakdown and mental health problems.

The Best Connection will then
match the amount raised across the network and donate this to Cancer
Research.
