As part of that commitment, Universal Tankers offers paid volunteering leave to Cadet Force Adult Volunteers, helping our colleagues give their time and support to the next generation.

What an achievement, Vojtech!

We’re incredibly proud of our colleague, Vojtech Cepek, who recently took on and completed a triathlon in support of Tom Harrison House.

Vojtech raised money for Tom Harrison House, which provides a specialist addiction recovery programme for UK Armed Forces serving personnel, veterans and emergency services personnel.

Taking on a challenge like this requires serious commitment, determination and plenty of hard work - qualities we’re proud to see reflected in Vojtech, both on and off the road.

A huge congratulations from everyone at Universal Tankers on completing the challenge and raising money for such an important cause.

Well done, Vojtech!
