From Car Racing to Duck Racing

SICL was pleased to sponsor The Great Yorkshire Duck Race, which took place on Sunday 9th August at Bolton Abbey, North Yorkshire.

This was the region’s biggest fundraising event of the year and aimed to break the world record for racing 200,000 ducks down a 1km stretch of river whilst raising money for the following good causes:

  • The Yorkshire Air Ambulance
  • ASDA Tickled Pink Campaign
  • PCA Benevolent Fund
  • Little Heroes Children’s Cancer Charity


As the day had a great family focus SICL staff took their families along to enjoy the day and were joined by customers and suppliers to support the charities.

After taking a massive lead at the start the SICL corporate duck was beaten by Asda after being stuck in an eddy pool - "next time we'll use frogmen" commented SICL Sales & Marketing Manager Maston Daniel.
