H&MV Engineering is pleased to announce the 8th Annual H&MV Charity Cycle, taking place on 19th September 2026. Now in its eight year, the event has become an important tradition for the organisation, uniting employees, partners, families, and supporters in a shared effort to raise funds for meaningful community causes. Since its inception, the Charity Cycle has raised over €350,000 for organisations that make a lasting difference across Ireland. We are also delighted to welcome ASTOR as the main sponsor this year.
For this year’s event, H&MV Engineering will continue its valued partnerships with Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind and the Dillon Quirke Foundation. These long-standing collaborations underscore H&MV’s ongoing commitment to supporting initiatives that resonate with its people and positively impact the communities in which the company operates.
“The Charity Cycle reflects the very best of who we are as an organisation,” said David Maher, Managing Director, Ireland, H&MV Engineering. “Each year, our employees, partners, and friends come together with a shared commitment to support meaningful causes. We’re proud to continue this tradition and honoured to work alongside two exceptional charities that make a real difference in people’s lives.”
– Olcay Doğan CFO, ASTOR add:
“At ASTOR, we are proud to support initiatives that create a meaningful impact beyond our industry. The H&MV Charity Cycle is a fantastic example of how businesses, employees, and local communities can come together to make a real difference. We are delighted to be the main sponsor of this year’s event and to support the important work of the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind and the Dillon Quirke Foundation. We look forward to seeing another successful Charity Cycle and wish everyone taking part the very best of luck.”
Representatives from both partnering charities welcomed the continued support:
“We are deeply grateful for H&MV Engineering’s continued support, particularly as we celebrate our 50th anniversary this year,” said Tim O’Mahony, CEO of Irish Guide Dogs. “Milestones like this are a powerful reminder of the impact that strong partnerships can have. With support like theirs, we can continue to empower people who are vision impaired with greater independence through our guide dogs, while also supporting families of children with autism through our assistance dog programme. We are proud to work together and look forward to being part of this year’s Charity Cycle.”
“H&MV Engineering has been a tremendous partner to our foundation,” said Dan Quirke, Founder of the Dillon Quirke Foundation. “The Dillon Quirke Foundation was established to ensure no other family has to endure the heartbreak of losing a young person to Sudden Adult Death Syndrome. H&MV Engineering’s ongoing commitment helps to raise vital awareness and fund critical cardiac screening for kids and teens to protect them, and their families from the devastation of SADS. The Charity Cycle is a powerful example of community action, and we are so grateful and proud to be involved again this year.”
Taking place on the scenic Slievenamon Loop in Tipperary, the event offers cyclists the choice of a 50km or 100km route, showcasing some of the most picturesque landscapes in the region. Participants will once again aim to surpass last year’s impressive fundraising
total of €70,000, demonstrating the continued momentum and enthusiasm behind the event.
The H&MV Charity Cycle has grown into more than a fundraising initiative: it is a celebration of teamwork, resilience, and collective action. H&MV Engineering invites employees, families, partners, and members of the wider community to join the 2026 event and help continue a tradition that delivers tangible, positive impact year after year.
