Perhaps the most challenging yet, last week’s event will certainly be remembered as the hottest! Nearly 40 riders came out last Thursday to participate in JCA’s special charity cycling event – 90km of beautiful (and steep!) climbs in the heart of the Chilterns to raise funds for three very noteworthy charities – Mind UK, Happy Days Children’s Charity and Steph’s Wishes. 

We were also joined by a special guest, Ned Boulting, an award-winning sports journalist, television presenter and author. Ned has been an integral part of ITV’s Tour de France coverage since 2003, forging a position within the cycling world as a respected reporter, presenter and writer. Along the way Ned’s portfolio of work has expanded, annual credit includes coverage of the Tour of Britain and Vuelta a Espana. 

Ned not only participated in our charity cycling event, riding alongside other guests, but also joined us for a short Q&A afterwards during which our guests were able to ask him questions and hear anecdotes from Ned’s sport broadcasting adventures. 

A big thank you to all our guests who, despite the weather, braved the heat and hills of the Chilterns, as as well as other supporters.

We are delighted to announce a new sponsorship of Pro Sports Events, a cycling event company. This is an exciting opportunity to support a growing local business, which is at the heart of our approach to corporate social responsibility.  

At JCA, we are committed to developing sustainable communities. Our vision is to contribute towards vibrant, caring and mixed communities, tackling issues associated with the local environment, employment, training, transport and the instigation of local strategic partnerships. 

Pro Sports Events is a unique cycling event company with over 10 years of experience in delivering cycling events across the globe, specialising in bespoke cycling experiences for all abilities, both in the UK and abroad. 

Ian Jackson, Chairman at JCA, said: “We’re excited to partner with Pro Sports Events – a team of experienced and enthusiastic cyclists, delivering bespoke cycling adventures. Their ethos strongly resonates with our own; at JCA we recognise the value of health and wellbeing, and the need to balance work and personal life. Finding an outdoor activity, not necessarily cycling, is a great way to get away from everyday pressures and maintain positive mental health.” 

Ian Holmes at Pro Sports Events, said: “The team at Pro Sports are absolutely delighted to partner with JCA for this year’s events. This sponsorship has already brought a fantastic new look to the team, and we look forward to a busy year of bespoke adventures.” 

We are delighted to announce that JCA Engineering has won the coveted RoSPA Gold Medal Award, having been awarded the RoSPA Gold Award for the 5th consecutive year.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Awards scheme is the longest running of its kind in the UK, and receives entries from organisations across the globe, making it one of the most prestigious achievement awards for health and safety worldwide. Gold medals are presented to organisations sustaining the high standards of the gold level over consecutive years. 

Dean Cocklin, Director at JCA, said: “To achieve the RoSPA Gold Award for the 5th year running is a testament to the positive health, safety and wellbeing culture within the whole business. This cannot be achieved without the full support from everyone who works for JCA so thank you to all of you for your continued commitment to keeping yourselves, colleagues and everyone we come into contact with safe from harm.”

Congratulations to everyone involved in this excellent achievement, which clearly demonstrates JCA’s continuing commitment to maintaining the highest standards in Health & Safety across the entire business.
