The employees are planning to cycle 81 miles from the company's office in Perth to their call-centre at Hunt Hill in aid of the St Andrew's Hospice.

The fundraisers have been training hard for the gruelling journey, which will be completed as a relay on August 22.

Worker Brendan Carr (23) explained: "We've been in the gym every morning from half past seven.

Brendan's colleague, Remo Baldassarra (25), said: "SSE is very big on getting out into the community.

"We thought this was a good project and since then it has just grown arms and legs.

"Our original goal was to raise 10,000. Hopefully, with everyone getting involved, we should reach that."
