Beyond Bitumen and Hire Express: A Partnership Driving Change

HIRE EXPRESS RECENTLY HOSTED THE INAUGURAL EVENT LAUNCH FOR A CHARITY THEY HAVE BEEN THE MAJOR SPONSORS OF SINCE IT STARTED, A COLLABORATION BORN FROM MUTUAL VALUES.

The event marked the announcement of the 2024 rally route and was more than just a gathering for route reveals and rallying enthusiasm. It allowed for the presentation of a $500K cheque to Beyond Blue and was a testament to the enduring commitment of Hire Express as the major sponsor of the Beyond Bitumen Rally for the 7th consecutive year. The partnership reflects a
deep-seated alignment in values, emphasising the importance of mental health awareness and support.

The 2024 Beyond Bitumen rally, set to commence in Gundagai, promises an adventurous journey through western NSW. The rally is not just an exploration of thrilling landscapes; it is a mission-driven event that unites participants under the banner of raising funds and awareness for mental health, specifically supporting Beyond Blue’s initiatives. The highlight of the evening was the presence of Beyond Blue’s CEO, Georgie Harman, whose inspiring words resonated with the audience. Her message outlined the critical importance of supporting mental health, particularly in challenging times.
Her inspiring words echoed the spirit of unity and support that Beyond Bitumen aims to foster among its participants. Allen Besseling, CEO of Hire Express, echoed this sentiment in his remarks, stressing the importance of supporting Beyond Blue as a lifeline for those grappling with mental health issues. This sentiment is not just lip service but is backed by tangible support, as 100% of all funds raised from the rally directly benefit Beyond Blue’s programs, including The Way Back Support Service. This service plays a crucial role in connecting with individuals who have attempted or contemplated suicide, offering them much-needed support and hope.

The partnership between Hire Express and Beyond Bitumen is a shining example of how Hire Companies can effectively contribute to social causes. It goes beyond just financial support, embodying a shared ethos and a commitment to making a real difference in the community. As the rally enthusiasts gear up for the 2024 adventure, the spirit of camaraderie, charity, and hope will be the driving force behind every kilometre traveled. The rally is not just a journey through the physical landscapes of NSW; it’s a journey towards greater awareness and support for mental health, championed by organisations like Hire Express and Beyond Bitumen.
