Evesham strongman completes epic charity lorry pull for Cancer Research UK

The challenge was held at local company Jet’s Evesham headquarters and saw Mark Bond raise more than £700 for Cancer Research UK.

Jet, recently named on the Sunday Times Best Places To Work 2025 list, is a proud supporter of the surrounding communities of both its Evesham and Newton Abbot sites. The company donates a portion of the profits it makes each year to local charities, as well as prioritising sustainability by recycling 100% of the road planings it deals with.

55-year-old Mark works as a car valet by day and says it wasn’t easy: "It was an incredibly tough challenge, but I knew I had to see it through. So many of my friends and family have been affected by cancer, and I’ve had my own cancer scare too. Doing this for Cancer Research UK made every step worthwhile.

"I’d like to thank Jet for backing me with this crazy idea and providing one of their iconic purple tippers. Teaming up with such a respected local company has really boosted my fundraising efforts."

"It’s been an honour to support Mark in this challenge. Our tippers are used on projects across the country every day, but never in quite this way! Giving back to our communities is a core part of who we are as a business, and we’re delighted to have played a role in helping Mark raise money for such an important cause," said John Lee, operations director at Jet Plant Hire.
