Northdoor Joined the 2011 Standard Chartered Great City Race

15 July 2011

On 14 July 2011, the Northdoor team of 18 employees and business partners joined the Standard Chartered Great City Race. Together with 6,500 other runners from around 400 companies, members of the Northdoor team ran 5 kilometres of the Square Mile’s closed-off streets. Northdoor has been an active participant in the Standard Chartered Great City Race for a number of years. This year, funds were raised for Seeing is Believing (SiB), a global initiative to help eradicate avoidable blindness.


AJ Thompson, Director of Enterprise Infrastructure, said:

“I am very proud of our employees and business partners who participated in the race. At Northdoor, we understand the increasing importance of social responsibilities for businesses. The Standard Chartered Great City Race not only gave us a great opportunity to contribute to the community but also build our team spirit and rapport.”
