Final training sessions

The team are cramming in their final training sessions before the big event in London this weekend. James and Howard managed to combine business with training, building in a development site visit to The Hub at Kingshill Park in Westhill, where they caught up with Graeme Milne from MTM Construction Ltd. Meanwhile, Gordon has been taking a slightly more indoor approach to his training, putting the miles in on his exercise bike.
All three are now ready to take on the 50-mile #PalaceToPalace cycle challenge this Sunday, 4 October, in aid of The King's Trust. We’d love to smash our fundraising target even further, so there’s still time to support the team. Every donation, big or small, will make a difference. 

One Week to Go

The miles are building and the #PalaceToPalace cycle challenge is getting closer. James, Howard and Gordon are taking part next Sunday 4th October, to help raise funds for The King's Trust, which supports young people across the UK with opportunities, skills and confidence for the future. Thanks to everyone who has already offered encouragement and support for the team – it is greatly appreciated.

Gordon gets into training mode

Our financial director is in full training mode now and is pleased to have completed another training session in preparation for The King’s Trust Palace to Palace charity cycle.  

Howard finds that not every training session is a bag of laughs

Not every training session is a bag of laughs. Our MD Howard Crawshaw discovered that the hard way on Sunday, battling gusty winds and some less-than-friendly cycling conditions. For anyone who knows Howard, you'll appreciate just how bad it was . . . his trademark smile was replaced by a frown.

Thankfully, a bit of Aberdeen weather wasn't enough to stop him completing another training session for The King's Trust Palace to Palace charity cycle, which he's taking on alongside James Barrack and Gordon Middleton next month in London.

The miles are adding up, the fitness is improving and there is still time to donate.

James putting in the effort and training

When it comes to meetings, pitches and new challenges, our Founder and Chairman, James Barrack, is definitely not a 'turn up and wing it' kind of guy. The same applies to next month's The King's Trust Palace to Palace charity cycle. While some might be enjoying a well-earned coffee break, James is putting in the effort and training ahead of the 50-mile challenge, which he'll be taking on alongside Howard Crawshaw and Gordon Middleton.

The countdown is on, the lycra is ready and the Knight team is gearing up for a fantastic day in support of a truly worthwhile cause. A huge thank you to everyone who has already donated. We'd love to smash our fundraising target even further before the team heads to London. 

Our MD Howard is putting in the training miles

Our managing director, Howard Crawshaw is continuing to put in the miles ahead of The King's Trust Palace to Palace charity cycle, recently completing another training ride in preparation for the event. Howard will be taking on the challenge alongside James Barrack and Gordon Middleton.

A huge thank you to everyone who has already donated, offered encouragement, or shared their support. It is greatly appreciated and is helping to keep the team motivated as they prepare for the big day.

First training ride complete for James, Howard & Gordon

Training ride #1 complete for James Barrack, Howard Crawshaw and Gordon Middleton: 45km, taking in our latest development site at Westhill.
The legs are reminding them this is very real now. The goal isn’t to break records - it’s to get to the start line of the Palace to Palace well-prepared and raise as much as possible for The King's Trust.

We are cycling 50 miles on Sunday 4 October to change young lives!

At a time where almost a million young people in the UK are out of work, The King’s Trust are committed to ending youth unemployment, and we are doing our part by taking on Palace to Palace! We have challenged ourselves to cycle 50/100 miles across London and raise funds to help young people get into work.

The King's Trust (formerly known as The Prince’s Trust) is a youth charity providing long-term support and tailored programmes that empower young people across the UK to transform their lives. Every penny raised will help break down barriers, open doors and support young people to build the confidence and skills they need to find work.

Please help the Knight Property Group team support The King's Trust by sponsoring our Palace to Palace challenge and sharing my page to double the impact. A donation of £26 could cover the cost of travel for an isolated young person to attend a one-week King’s Trust course, helping them build vital skills and gain valuable work experience.

Thank you in advance for your support.
