Five colleagues from the Westgrove Group missed Saturday’s royal wedding, to climb Ben Nevis and help raise money for charity.
The group, led by Westgrove’s Brand Ambassador and adventurer Alex Staniforth from Chester, was company chairman Steve Fives, Jenny Fives, Tony Page, Head of Health, Safety and Compliance; and Brand and Development Director Laurie Barton Wright.
Money raised for PHASE Worldwide will go towards communities in Nepal, many of whom were affected by the 2015 earthquake. Fundraising goes towards health and education, recovery and construction.
Laurie Barton Wright said: “It was fantastic to climb 4000 feet to the summit of Ben Nevis and the Gurkhas who helped us get up and down in one piece were amazing. We were joined by a whole team of people taking part in this latest Walk for Nepal which followed on from earlier walks up Snowdon and Scafell Pile which The Westgrove Group and Alex Staniforth also supported. We’re delighted that the fund-raising has already smashed £30,000 and that Team Westgrove raised over £1,500 to add to this total.”
Alex, an ambassador for PHASE Worldwide, said: “Walking Ben Nevis is a great experience and it was extra special to share it with a group of friends and colleagues from Westgrove who have raised money to support PHASE too.”
Steve Fives said: “Jenny and I have climbed both Scafell and Snowdon, so it was great to complete the set with Alex. He is an inspiring role model.”
