KNIPEX UK has raised over £1,000 for construction charity Band of Builders with a series of sponsored walks throughout July.
The initiative, driven by staff from across the business, saw colleagues walking individually, with their dogs, or during office lunch breaks, to a total of 450 miles, the distance from the UK office to KNIPEX head office in Wuppertal, Germany.
The highlight of the campaign was a group walk, bringing together KNIPEX UK team members for a collective effort and was rounded off with a picnic.
“The group walk gave us a chance to come together as a team and show our support in person,” said Laura Broadbent, marketing executive for KNIPEX UK. “But a lot of the effort happened in people’s own time. Whether it was a lunchtime loop near the office, a longer weekend walk with the dog or time spent walking while on holiday, everyone found a way to contribute – and we’re proud of what we raised.”
Band of Builders, the chosen charity for this fundraiser, supports tradespeople and their families who are battling illness, injury, or financial hardship.
