Inchcape UK has finished its mountain climbing challenge to help raise £26,523 for BEN the automotive charity.

Inchcape had 10 teams, representing each of their brands; a team of retail support staff and a team comprised of volunteers from across all brands that climbed as part of the CEO team.

From their efforts, Inchcape have so far raised £26,523 for BEN but are still aiming for their £30,000 target.

The teams succesfully completed the Ben Nevis and Snowdon climbs but were stopped from climbing England's Scafell Pike because of flooding and mountain rescue still getting people out of the area from the day before.

Kelly Neal, events manager at BEN, said: “Completing a challenge such as the UK Three Peaks Challenge is an amazing feat and to get 100 members of staff to take part is even more so. The funds raised by Inchcape are greatly appreciated and vital to allowing BEN to continue giving much needed help to people in times of need.”
