Colin Blears, Quest’s product development manager, is aiming to raise money for Help For Heroes by embarking on three personal challenges during 2012. This includes a trek up Ben Nevis on 4th June to light a beacon at the summit of Britain’s highest peak as part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations. With both his sister and brother-in-law
currently on tour in Afghanistan since March this year, Colin says he decided to take on some personal challenges in a bid to support the British troops and its related charity. “I decided that 2012 was my time to get out of the offi ce and take on some challenges to support the men and women of the Armed Forces who protect and serve us without a second thought. The main event is a trek up to the summit of Ben Nevis, which is signifi cantly different from my daily
routine as it typically includes trips to Starbucks and sitting in front of a computer delivering innovative solutions for our customers! I’m undertaking the challenge alongside my mother and Falklands war-veteran father, whom I nominated to join me, and we are all looking forward to reaching the summit come 4th June. When taking on any challenge, either work or personal, I believe that the difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person’s determination along with support from a good team.” Colin has also signed-up to do a Skydive on 30th May, and is registered to do his fi rst bungee jump in 13th October at Chepstow Quarry, which will see challengers take an amazing 400ft leap of faith.

Nottingham businesses join Three Peaks challenge
as possible across four days. The aim is to raise as much money as
possible for Rutland House School, based in Sneinton Dale. Rutland House is a registered charity which provides support for children with Down’s syndrome, cerebral palsy and other motor development disorders. To take on the challenge, the team has
bought a 1996 Fiat Coupe and is working with local businesses to get it roadworthy. Marc Ballard, director of Salloway
Property Consultants, said “When I was asked to be involved, I jumped at the chance. It is for a very worthwhile cause, the staff at Rutland House are brilliant and they do amazing work to help children progress with their life skills. The route will be challenging, but it will be a bit of fun too. “To help us raise money, I would
Daring senior staff from two Nottingham companies are taking on an ambitious charity challenge driving the three peaks route – and there’s a catch, this must be done in a car worth no more than £500. Representatives from Fraser Brown
Solicitors are teaming up with Salloway Property Consultants to take part in the ‘Scally Rally’ between 29 June and 2 July. They will drive the route, using only minor roads and avoiding motorways to get as close to Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon
certainly encourage companies from the Nottingham area to come forward and to sponsor us.” To sponsor the team, donate parts or
