While many of us were enjoying the last of the summer sun over the August bank holiday weekend, SHEQ manager Andy Rafton was climbing Ben Nevis with his sons to raise money for charity.

Having already climbed Mount Snowdon and Scafell Pike, Andy decided to raise money for charity whilst checking Ben Nevis off his bucket list – and raised over £1,100 for The Howarth Foundation!

The Howarth Foundation helps people from chaotic backgrounds get back onto the right path and into employment, and we are pleased to say Howard Civil Engineering has hired multiple candidates from the charity’s Business Building Futures programme.

Andy and his three sons took only 7 hours and 13 minutes to reach the summit of the highest mountain in the United Kingdom which stands 1,345m above sea level. Amazing work, well done everyone!

Want to show Andy your support? There’s still time to donate here.
