Having run the marathon three times before, McIntyre is hoping to raise £2,000 for the Hospice of the Good Shepherd in Ellesmere Port. “I’ve been amazed at the response from our packaging suppliers, particularly Cardway Cartons and Amcor Flexibles,” he told PN towers. “We’re well on the way to smashing the target.” The PN team wishes him luck.
