GWENT financial services business Kymin, which is continuing its support for St David’s Hospice Care by backing the Admiral City of Newport Half Marathon 2018, is urging others to follow its lead.

The Newport-headquartered business, which has volunteered support for the 13.1 mile event since its inception, is a sponsor of one of the four water stations this year.

Kymin will be based at Blaina Wharf, near the SDR Bridge, at mile 12 of the Admiral City of Newport Half Marathon 2017.

Robin Hall, managing director of the Bridge Street, Newport, business will operate the water station along with other Kymin staff and volunteers on the day.

Robin said: “The Admiral City of Newport Half Marathon is such a marvellous event not just for St David’s Hospice Care but for the city of Newport as a whole. It’s such a great advertisement for everything that is good about the city and we were delighted not just to offer our backing as sponsors when approached but to once more roll up our sleeves and get involved. We’re now urging other Gwent businesses to follow our lead and support the event.”

The financial services business has supported the Three Peaks of Wales, have been shirt sponsors of the Tour de Gwent, scaled Pen Y Fan on the Moon Walk and had a raft in the annual Monmouth Raft Race.
