Based in Bournemouth, Holt Recruitment took on an epic fundraising challenge this May. Using Bournemouth zigzags, they decided to scale Mouth Everest in a day, walking 8,849 metres to the ‘summit’, in aid of Home-Start Wessex. This charity does incredible work to support local families in need.
Every year, the team at Holt Recruitment pushes their limits for a great cause. They have completed a 24-hour marathon, rowed around Britain and cycled the Tour de France. This year, they went bigger than ever before.
Owner Stuart Holt said, “We Did It! We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve completed our yearly charity challenge and raised a total of £7,230 for the incredible charity Home-Start Wessex. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported us along the way, from generous donations to those who joined us on the day to cheer us on. Together, we’ve made a real impact in supporting families and children in need through Home-Start Wessex. Everyone’s contributions will go a long way in making a positive difference in our community. Despite some very sore legs and tired bodies, we’re overjoyed with our achievement and deeply honoured to have rallied support for this remarkable charity.”
The Holt Recruitment Group are recruitment specialists with a base of clients within the Automotive, Aerospace, Defence and Precision Engineering sectors across the UK. It’s not too late to contribute to their fundraising total.
