The quest to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro

Date: Friday 25 November 2022

The latest Industry Leader Challenge (ILC) is Ben’s biggest yet… a group of six teams from well-known automotive businesses is taking on The Climb – to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro!

Each intrepid industry leader, along with a future leader from each company, is climbing one of the world’s most iconic peaks, between 21-27 November 2022. Each team is fundraising throughout 2021 aiming to raise a total of £300,000 which would be an ILC fundraising record!

The team consists of:

Partners& and Lawgistics: Leon Bosch and Joel Combes
HELLA: Neil Grant and Spencer Grinham
LKQ Euro Car Parts: Andy Hamilton and Anthony McAteer
Marshall Motor Group: Adrian Wallington and Clive McGregor
Haymarket: Rachael Prasher and Jim Holder
JCT600: John Tordoff and Andy Bateman

Three leaders from Ben are also taking part in The Climb: Zara Ross, Chief Executive, Matt Wigginton, Director of Partnerships, Engagement & Income and Rachel Clift, Health & Wellbeing Director.

The team is climbing the highest free-standing mountain on earth, which is a total of 5,895 metres tall and are battling through 90km of extreme trekking, freezing temperatures, high altitude, brutal ascents and severe weather. Tackling such a hostile environment will be physically demanding, mentally challenging, but will fundraise to provide life-changing support for automotive industry people who need it the most.

The challenge was chosen to represent that everyone has their own mountain to climb at some point in their life – no matter who they are, what they do, or where they come from.
