Industry leaders scale the heights for Ben
Automotive industry charity Ben has confirmed that its biggest ever Industry Leader Challenge (ILC) fundraiser, The Climb, will take place from 30 October to 8 November.
As part of the challenge, which was postponed last October, a number of automotive industry companies will climb one of the world’s most iconic peaks, Mount Kilimanjaro, to raise £300,000 for Ben.
Already taking part are Andy Hamilton and Anthony McAteer of LKQ Euro Car Parts, Adrian Wallington and Clive McGregor from Marshall Motor Group, Haymarket’s Rachael Prasher and Jim Holder, Partners & and Lawgistics pair Leon Bosch and Joel Combes, and John Tordoff and Andy Bateman of JCT600.
Three leaders from Ben will also be taking part: Matt Wigginton, Zara Ross, and Rachel Clift.
Wigginton said: “This is a fantastic opportunity to climb one of the most iconic peaks in the world, while also doing something incredible to ensure no one in our industry has to face life’s toughest challenges alone. We all have our own mountains to climb at some point in our lives, so we felt that this challenge was very fitting. Now more than ever, automotive people need Ben – and we need you and your support.”
