Manchester technology firm gets on its bike for local charity

A Manchester technology firm is getting into gear in South Africa to help raise much needed funds for a local good cause.

Enterprise resource planning solutions provider K3 Syspro will be going head to head with its partner, SYSPRO, as they each field five riders for the Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour, in Western Cape, South Africa, on Sunday 9 March, 2014. Staff at K3 Syspro will be getting on their bikes in a bid to raise funds to help Springwood Primary School build a multisensory room for students. The school provides specialist education for pupils aged two to 11 years, all of whom have profound, complex and challenging needs. The race, also known as the Argus, is the largest individually timed event in the world, putting 35,000 riders through their paces covering a gruelling 109km. K3 Syspro sells SYSPRO ERP to manufacturers and distributors throughout the UK and SYSPRO works to develop the software worldwide.
