Zimmer Biomet staff cycle for BUMBLEance charity

Employees of Zimmer Biomet recently completed their second charity cycle between its two plants at Shannon and Galway, a distance of 83km.

Over 40 employee volunteers took to the road recently to raise funds for Irish charity, The Saoirse Foundation, BUMBLEance Children’s National Ambulance service.

CareerWise Recruitment were proud sponsors of the jerseys on the day, and our own Joe Robbins (Director, CareerWise) took part in this fantastic event.

Last year, the Zimmer Biomet team raised over €10,000 for the charity with the funds assigned to support services in Clare, Limerick and Galway, allowing sick children in the region to travel safely and comfortably to and from their homes to hospitals, hospices, treatment centres and respite centres nationwide.
