A County Durham’s asset finance brokerage Great North Run inspired challenge has helped raise over £500 for local charity, The Clarke Lister Brain Haemorrhage Foundation.
Staff from Peterlee-based Dealer Net Finance were due to take part in the 2020 Great North Run.
But after it’s cancellation earlier this year due to Covid-19, the team decided to carry on and push their running ability by taking part in two new challenges.
Kavan Young and Sam Musgrave took part in the Great North Run Solo challenge which celebrated what would have been the 40th running of the famous race, by running 40 separate runs over 78 days. The pair covered over 300 miles between them for the challenge.
And as if that were not enough, they finished their challenge on what would have been the day of the Great North Run by running the half-marathon distance of 13.1 mile.
Kavan said: “With the Great North Run cancelled, our bodies initially had a sigh of relief, but we were deeply concerned that this great local charity we were running for would miss out on some vital funding this year through the run.
“Me and Sam decided to push ourselves and take part in the Great North Run Solo challenge to help raise some money for The Clarke Lister Brain Haemorrhage Foundation.
“It was a tough push and our bodies certainly felt it, but we have been overwhelmed by people’s generosity in what is a tough time for everyone by helping us raise over £500.
“We hope this amount can help the charity over the next few months, and we will all be keeping our fingers crossed that we will be lining up on the start line in Newcastle next September to take part in the real Great North Run in 2021.”

August 2020 – Summer is at its peak!
We are not totally back to normal yet, but we have all eaten out to help out, enjoyed some good weather and employees are starting to return to businesses up and down the country.
The Dealer Net Finance team even had the opportunity to get a few days off to recharge the batteries, but we still had time to help our clients gain access to funds for some exciting new asset purchases for their business.
Take a look at some of the financial agreements we arranged in August 2020:
Hire Purchase – New Volvo FH540 Tractor Unit – £109,000-00

Clients in our main sector of agriculture have kept us on our toes in August.
Purchases have been made by customers as they look to upgrade their tractors and equipment with several agricultural haulage companies investing in new tractor units and livestock trailers to move stock around the UK.
As car dealerships also start to find their feet after the lockdown, we have started to see our agreements for personal finance on vehicle purchases start to pick up again. We can offer hire purchase, lease and PCP packages that will be highly competitive against car garage finance packages so give us a call if you are looking at a vehicle upgrade.
We know everything isn’t completely back to normal, and we could have a long way to go yet in the fight against Covid-19, but we are here to do our bit to help you and your business get through this unprecedented period in time.
