As part of their 2017 charity initiative supporting Break, a team of staff members from East Anglian recruitment company Cooper Lomaz will be participating in the National Three Peaks Challenge. The incredibly tough challenge, which is popular amongst charity fundraisers, will see the team attempting to climb the three highest mountains – Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike & Snowden – in the British Isles within 24 hours.
The team of 9, which is made up from a mixture of Directors, Recruitment Consultants and Support Staff, will commence the challenge on 30th June 2017 and complete it on the 2nd of July.
Cooper Lomaz is doing the National Three Peaks Challenge in order to raise money for Break, their chosen corporate charity of 2017. Cooper Lomaz chose Break as its charity because of their strong family values which are in line with the great work that Break does, supporting children and families within Norfolk.
Operations Director, Mark Fletcher says “We are excited to be putting ourselves through the paces, doing this incredibly tough challenge in order to raise money for those who need it most. As a father of four young children, I can really empathise with the work that Break is doing for families”
The National Three Peaks Challenge will see the team – Emma O’Brien, Matt Barber, Richard Beastall, Stuart Wilson, Alex Hall, Mark Fletcher, Phillip Watson, Simon Brown & Liam Flegg – walk a total of 27 miles and ascending a whopping 9,800ft.
Commercial Director, Simon Brown says “Teamwork is not just about what happens in the office, but also outside whether it’s social events or work within the community. As tough as it will be, it will also be a fun challenge and we’re incredibly excited to train and achieve this as a team”
This year Cooper Lomaz has set a target of raising £10,000 for Break through their many charity events such as a Firewalk, Dress Down Days and a Bake Sale amongst other events that are to be confirmed.
