Huge congratulations to colleagues from our Worcester, Hereford and Birmingham offices who took on the Malvern Hills End to End Walk last week in support of Acorns Children’s Hospice.
Starting at Chase End and finishing at North Hill, the team completed the 9.3-mile ridge walk, including 17 summits and climbing the equivalent of 253 floors, with a stop at British Camp for lunch along the way. Thanks to a slightly scenic coach drop-off at the start, the challenge ended up topping 30,000 steps for some of the team.
Most colleagues completed the full route while others joined for sections, and Will Kerton, Jack Tyler and George Shakespeare even ran the first part to the Wych Cutting before continuing walking with the group. The timing also worked perfectly, falling in week four of the walking challenge although, as far as anyone admits, no formal training had taken place beforehand.
A brilliant effort from everyone involved: Rhiannon Barton, Greg Collings, Sarah Maeers, Dan Ballard, Helen Harris, Jack Tyler, Joe Senior, Laila Butterworth, Lori Varley, Michelle Knowles, Olivia Duncan, Sarah Hollis, Stephen Holloway, Rory Garside, Will Kerton, Yan Gittins, George Shakespeare, James Harrop Griffiths, Ollie Bullock and Liv Campbell-Kerr.
Marketing Manager, Rhiannon Barton, who organised the event, said: “It was lovely to spend time with colleagues away from our desks and do something positive for a charity we supported as part of our leg of the Big 25 challenge in 2025. It’s important to us to keep that relationship going and continue supporting the incredible work Acorns Children’s Hospice does in the local area.”
