The Team
Since its inception, GM Fundraising has raised funds for a number of children's hospices and charities. From day one, founder, Gary Morton has led a strong organising team and continues to be sustained by a small group of committed individuals. The group give their time freely, absorbing their own costs and working hard to deliver events for GM Fundraising's many sponsors and supporters.

 Aged 58, though he claims he looks a lot younger, Alan has a sign business, Graphisign, based in Oldham and has recently acquired the Clough Manor Hotel and Restaurant in Denshaw, Saddleworth. His hobbies are exclusively eating and drinking, though not always in that order "I enjoy my life because I enjoy life, I have been very lucky and because of this it is a privilege to be able to help out at GMF. I find that the greater the need the greater the privilege" |
 Dave is 48 and married to Michelle. He has two daughters, Rosie 15 and Maddy 7. He works as the Sales Director of Bohle a German based glass equipment manufacturer. His hobbies include, music, fishing, sailing, and his favourite footy team, West Bromwich Albion... none of which he has any time for because of work, wife and kids! His GMF role is Golf Day organiser and general Devil's advocate. Reason for involvement in GMF - badgered by Morton into becoming the GMF Golf Day bitch and it was all downhill from there. Also I couldn't think of a worthier cause and more deserving people than the ones at Hope House. |
 Gary is 50 and founded GM Fundraising back in 1995. He hails from Wolverhampton and when not watching his beloved West Bromwich Albion football team, you can find him cycling. He is married to Karen with two children, Sophie 21 and Esther 16. |
 Iain is 39 and runs McInnes Communications Ltd a specialist PR agency in the glazing and construction industries. During his spare time Iain is a keen cyclist and often races in the South-West, Midlands and Wales area. He came into the GMF team when asked to contribute to the Top 2 Bottom charity bike ride and has just launched the GM Fundraising Press Office to help raise the profile of the charity and to particularly promote \the marathon bike rides we organise. His reason for contributing: "to help make a difference to someone's life and to give a little bit back." |
