Four Scottish accountants from BDO put their counting skills to different use by successfully completing the Five Peaks High Five Challenge recently to raise funds for the children’s rugby charity, Wooden Spoon. The challenge involves climbing five of the highest peaks in Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland – all within 55 hours. Craig Martin, Iain Steele,
Johnny Griffiths and John Walker from BDO’s Scottish corporate finance team raised more than £6,000 completing the ‘on course’ part of the challenge in 16 hours and picking up the Ben Nevis prize for their performance on Scotland‘s highest mountain.
