Nine employees from the Northampton headquarters of Travis Perkins are leaving the comfort of their office next month to take part in the Vanco Three Peaks Challenge.

The challenge, which is held on July 19-20, will raise money for the international humanitarian charity CARE International and will see the team climb the highest peaks in England (Scafell Pike, Lake District), Scotland (Ben Nevis) and Wales (Snowdon) – all in 24 hours.

The team hopes to raise £5,000 for the charity and is being supported by Travis Perkins which is covering the event’s expenses.
