IFS have been supporting a great charity in the way we know best by sending out some spare parts to help Elliott Morgan with his world wide cycling fundraiser.
Elliott and his teammates are cycling around the world to raise money for War Child which supports children across Africa, Asia and the Middle East through protection, education and livelihoods support. The charity helps children who have lived through conflict, such as children who have lived under so-called Islamic State in Iraq, or former child soldiers in the Central African Republic.
Elliott left Sheffield on 2nd April and has been making his way around the world over an 18 month period, crossing continents and passing through a total of 28 countries. Elliot says “18 months of hard work, thousands of training miles and scrupulous saving have all been in pursuit of this trip of a lifetime. I am aiming to raise £25000 for War Child”.

Hooked On Wrestling are very happy with a shipment of guitars we made for them to the UK from the USA.
“Amazing service. Asked them to bring me four boxes of guitars from rural Tennessee. Order placed Monday, they were sat on my drive on Thursday. Remarkable. Wouldn’t have happened without IFS hand holding my client in the USA throughout the booking in process. Cheers Ingrid and Adam. Stars!”
