Endace Team Attempts the National Three Peak Challenge, with Ministry of Defence, for Dorothy House Hospice

Original Entry by : Steve Tsirtsonis

On Tuesday 19th June 2018, four members of the Endace EMEA team will be joining six team members from the Ministry of Defence to complete the National Three Peaks Challenge.

The 24-hour challenge will see the team climb the highest peaks of England, Scotland and Wales—Scafell Pike, Ben Nevis and Mount Snowdon. The team will be raising money for Dorothy House Hospice Care who provide compassionate care and support for people with a life-limiting illness.

The three peaks challenge means scaling Scafell Pike which is the tallest point in England (at 978m), Snowdon is the tallest in Wales (at 1,085m), and Ben Nevis is the tallest in Scotland (at 1,345m). The team will start at 5pm on the 19th and will go non-stop until the challenge is completed by 5pm the following day.

Endace’s EMEA team’s sponsorship of various sporting teams such as Bobsled, the Royal Navy team at 2017 International Tattoo, and MOD Corsham Field Gun team at the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity Field Gun Competition acts as a driver for philanthropic activities.

Team members from Endace include Stephen Tsirtsonis, Endace Director of Defence EMEA, Tom Jones, Lead Engineer, Owen Gallagher, Professional Services Engineer, and Chris Bone, Global Sales Operations Manager.

Endace sponsors Royal Navy team at the 2017 Tattoo in Birmingham

Endace was the proud sponsor of the Royal Navy at the Birmingham International Tattoo 2017.

For those not familiar with the pomp and ceremony of such events, the tattoo is an elaborate celebration of the military. It includes music, advanced drill, dance and, most importantly, a Field Gun competition.

Endace was a previous sponsor of MOD Corsham’s Tri-Service Field Gun Crew, which won the Plate 1 Final at the Royal Navy Royal Marines Charity Field Gun Competition at HMS Collingwood. So when we were invited to be the sole sponsor of the Royal Navy at the 2017 International  Tattoo in Birmingham we were thrilled to accept the opportunity to support this highly enjoyable event.

 

The team from the Royal Navy performed admirably over the two days. Well done to everyone in what was an extremely tough competition!.
