Fashion flashes pink 11 July 2010
The Akeman paid tribute to a fantastically-successful fashion show in the first week of July, raising approximately £1250 for Breast Cancer Care.
The In the Pink fashion show, held in collaboration with local fashion boutiques Tribe and Fuse, saw 100 enthusiastic ladies treat themselves to a three course meal and plenty of catwalk action, flushed down with plenty of appropriately pink wine.
Oakman Inns & Restaurants saw its very own Chief Executive even take part - Peter Borg-Neal proved a show-stopping model when strutting the catwalk with a profusion of flair and style, much to the delight of the female audience.
In addition to each ticket carrying a £5 donation to Breast Cancer Care, the charity event also held its own raffle, with some fantastically-appealing prizes including a break at Champney
The Akeman sponsors Chairman for London to Brighton Bike Ride 24 June 2010
The Akeman proudly sponsored Mike Smith, Chairman of Oakman Inns & Restaurants, and his fellow team of cyclists during the 54 mile London to Brighton bike ride last weekend.
All donning The Akeman branded t-shirts, Mike and his team cycled alongside 27,000 cyclists for the UK’s largest charity cycle event, in aid of the British Heart Foundation.
The team set off from Clapham Common among staggered starts from 6am, hoping to reach Brighton seafront within the standard expected time of 6 hours, despite the high point of Ditchling Beacon standing at a lofty 814ft.
After approximately 10 hours of cycling, and a substantial number of pub stop-offs, Mike and his team cycled through the finishing post holding hands in a line, in an impressive showcase of The Akeman branding.
The event, which has been running since 1974, hoped to hit a fundraising target of £4.5m this year. While his team contributed to this commendable sum via sponsorship funds, Mike has since enjoyed yet another well-deserved celebratory pint at The Akeman for his hard efforts – this time without the famed t-shirts!
