HMG Paints celebrates three peaks success

Staff from HMG Paints, a Manchester-based independent paint manufacturer, have successfully completed the British Three Peaks Challenge, raising funds for its three chosen charities of 2025: Cancer Research, Francis House Children’s Hospice and Memories by Hudson.

The challenge saw 12 members of staff from HMG travel across the UK to scale the three highest mountains in the UK : Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell Pike in England, and Snowdon in Wales. The team aimed to tackle one mountain each day.

Nathan Rayner, production operative at HMG Paints, said: “Character building, facing fears, sunburn, windburn, hail and rain, we faced all that British weather could throw at us. But through it all, it was a challenge filled with teamwork, banter and lots of laughter.”

Throughout the weekend, the fundraising efforts provided by HMG’s community were nothing short of phenomenal. The team’s original goal of £1000 was met before the climb had begun, so the team set their sights on a target of £2500, which was met as the final peak was conquered.

“The National Three Peaks Challenge turned out to be even more demanding than I had imagined” said Brian Dowling, HMG Paints’ Health, Safety and Environment Manager “Mother Nature certainly played her part in testing us, but as the aches and pains begin to fade, what remains are the powerful memories of a truly shared experience. Completing this challenge and raising this money means a great deal, we may have set off as colleagues, but we returned as brothers.”
