About £9,000 has been raised for St Peter’s Hospice through a business challenge.

The Accumulator Challenge saw 12 businesses, including The Bristol Port Company and DoubleTree by Hilton, see how much money they could raise in 10 weeks, after being handed an initial £50 investment by the hospice.

The winner was ONEPOST which organised a static bike ride in its foyer, covering the distance from its Portishead base to Paris.

ONEPOST’S Catherine Weaver said: “We’re delighted we raised such a great amount for a great local charity. Everyone worked really hard.”
