Can our Made in the Midlands friends help us reach our £5,000 target please?
Let’s celebrate the incredible achievement of the Jenks & Cattell Engineering team, who successfully climbed the three highest mountains in England, Scotland, and Wales.
This team, representing 14% of our total workforce, began their journey with Ben Nevis, completing the climb in 6 ½ hours during Scotland’s warmest weather of the summer. They then tackled Scafell Pike in 4 ½ hours and Snowdon in 5 ½ hours, despite facing wet and windy conditions.
The team encountered several challenges, including road closures, burst tyres, and a few injuries, which unfortunately prevented them from meeting their 24-hour target. However, their efforts in the Three Peaks Challenge were in support of Birmingham Children’s Hospital, raising an impressive amount exceeding £4,000 so far. This initiative not only raised funds for a worthy cause but also increased awareness of the charity and strengthened multi-functional team relationships among our diverse group of press operators, sales staff, engineers, managers, planners, accountants, and estimators.
Expressing his pride, Managing Director Mike O’Shea said: “It was a fantastic weekend with a great team. I am proud of the teamwork shown in sticking together and the organisation we all demonstrated during this tough challenge.
As one of the leaders here at Jenks & Cattell Engineering, I am exceptionally proud of how much money was raised. A big thank you to Eleanor Imray for organising the event; it was seamless and wouldn’t have happened without you!
The smiles on the faces in each of the photos, the constant buzz around Jenks & Cattell Engineering as people share their experiences from the challenge, the cross-functional relationships forged through some adversity, and the money the team has raised are the true measures of how successful last weekend was."
