Conquest of the peaks
Published: 10 September, 2007
Real estate firm John Arkwright & Co donned their walking boots and put their best feet forward in the Red Cross Three Peaks Challenge last month, winning the 'Top Fundraising Team' award and helping to raise a massive estimated total of £100,000.
The team joined 32 other corporate teams to climb the three highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales. The six-person Arkwright team raised over £11,500.
Nelson Bakewell was the fastest team to complete the challenge in less than 22 hours.
Julian Holmes-Taylor, national events manager at the British Red Cross, said: "All money raised will go towards the work of the British Red Cross."
