BAE SYSTEMS Chelmsford employees are celebrating after their 55 mile charity bike ride raised £3,090 for the Royal British Legion's recovery centre for wounded soldiers.
The money raised will go towards the operating costs of the Chavasse VC House Personnel Recovery Centre at Colchester Garrison.
Tracey Hall, a spokesperson for the Legion, said: "It was wonderful watching the bikers set off on their ride and we were amazed at how much they raised. It is very heart-warming for an entire company to pull together to support our cause and our thanks go to all the BAE staff."
The Personnel Recovery Centre, which opened in February 2011, provides a programme of support for wounded, injured and sick soldiers in their successful return to duty or transition into civilian life.
A cheque was presented to the charity on March 28 at BAE Systems in Chelmsford.
