The first set of advertisement ‘bumpers’ into and out of the Weather report show the Anglian Knight riding to the rescue of a home being attacked by driving rain, cold conditions and by replacing your windows with Anglian energy efficient double glazing you could save money on your heating bills.

Nathan Bray was diagnosed last year with Bowel Cancer and tragically died 4 months later, five days after his wedding, from the illness.
Gareth Williams, a close friend of Nathans and Call Centre trainer at Anglian Home Improvements is currently in training for an epic Lands End to John O’Groats bike ride to raise money for Nathans charity whilst raising the awareness of Nathan’s condition.
As you can imagine the proposed cycle ride requires an extreme level of fitness and to help Gareth with his training and fund raising a special event has been organised for today which complements both needs perfectly.
So the plan is every lead the Anglian receives today Gareth will cycle ten minutes on the exercise bike situated in the Call Centre:
