Minerva plc sponsor the Launch on 9 November 2007
Cycle 2 Cannes (C2C), the property cycling event marked the launch of C2C 2008 with a riders’ reception sponsored by Minerva plc and hosted at the NLA on Friday 9 November 2007. Minerva is a property investment and development company whose principal strategy is to create shareholder wealth through investment in property.
Tim Garnham as Group Development Director of Minerva plc is a huge supporter of C2C and champions two of the company’s most prestigious Directors, Steve Yewman and Edward Moody to participate in the annual fundraising event.
 “This is a tough ride over challenging terrain that will test the endurance of the hardiest road rider and stretch the fittest commuters. It’s not just the five days [in the saddle] from London to Cannes but the months of winter training on cold wet roads that make up the challenge; followed by four days at MIPIM that takes its own toll. These riders deserve your support.”
Edward Moody, Minerva plc C2C Rider 2007 and 2008
The launch was focused around new riders and previous riders enabling cyclists to meet their fellow travellers from the property and construction industry; any testosterone and healthy competition between companies was put on hold as riders were reminded to live up to their pledges and start training hard for the 2008 ride. Riders collect money for our charities throughout their long preparation and raise money, serious money for good causes. Companies such as Minerva plc, CBRE, Drivers Jonas, EC Harris, IVG Asticus Real Estate, Jones Lang LaSalle, King Sturge, RREEF, Savills and UBS, represent C2C 2008 entrants.
