John Atkinson brings you up to date with the world of business this weekend.

Suzy Cramb, from Wolsingham, and her friend Debbie, rode their tandem into Penrith on Tuesday and were treated to a lunchtime party.

The two friends are on route to John O'Groats (from Lands End) and were heading for Biggar when Gary caught up with them on the phone earlier today.

They and their team are raising money for The Teenage Cancer Trust and The Ellen Macarthur Cancer Trust .

Should you wish to donate, there is a Virgin Money Giving page - just search for Suzy Cramb and Tandemlejog.

Texting TUTU815 to 70070 will donate £5 to the cause.

Susan Jones and Clare Midgley joined Gary on Mornings & More to tell us about their hopes of winning the Sainsbury's local (Sedgefield) vote.

Here, Susan and Clare talk about the work Age UK County Durham does in our area and what they are hoping to achieve with a little help from Sainsbury's (Sedgefield).

Susan and Clare are keen to establish a "Gentlemen's Breakfast Club" in the Sedgefield area.

You can vote for them in the Sedgefield store or by going online to:

www.sainsburyslocalcharity.co.uk

 Susan explained, "Search for Sedgefield, it’s the Salters Road store, click through and the three choices are there.  Please vote on line and in store.  There are older gentlemen in the Sedgefield area who don’t know how we can change their lives, but we will when we win."
