Kilimanjaro challenge
8th August 2017

Six staff from Essex-based Rehau fabricator EXTERIOR PLAS have raised  £11,600 for the Help for Heroes charity after climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

The team included Managing Director Andy Sheen, who doubled the funds raised by and presented Help for Heroes with a cheque for £11,600 at a special ‘Afternoon Tea and Bubbles’ event at the company’s headquarters in Thornwood, Essex.

Andy said: “We wanted to set ourselves a challenge, and while doing so, raise awareness and funds for the remarkable charity, Help for Heroes. Climbing Kilimanjaro has always been on my ‘bucket list’, and when I started discussing challenges and aspirations with the team, it became clear that there were a few of us with similar interests. Within weeks, we were booked up and ready to go!”

The Afternoon Tea and Bubbles event was attended by Exterior Plas colleagues, clients, suppliers, family members and a representative of Help For Heroes, who presented medals to the six who completed the trekking challenge and gave a talk about how the money raised would be used to help injured servicemen and woman.
