Climbers from Mansell Construction Services are on a high after donating more than £14,000 to Macmillan Cancer Support.

The team from Mansell's Stourbridge-based Western region successfully completed last year's Three Peaks Challenge, scaling Britain's highest peaks of Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon.

That achievement, combined with other fund raising efforts by Mansell staff including an It's a Knockout event,  a chariot relay across the UK, dress-down days, charity walks and selling hand made greetings cards, meant that Macmillan Cancer Support was £14,439 better off. The cash was handed over to Macmillan fund raising manager Sharon Battersby by Mansell regional managing director Steve Davies, who took part in the Three Peaks Challenge.

As part of a year-long fundraising drive to mark the company's 100th anniversary, Mansell's charity fund raising efforts by its Stourbridge office raised more than £66,000 in 2008, and more than £1 million nationwide. As well as Macmillan Cancer Support, money has been handed over to the Birmingham Institute for the Deaf, Cancer Support Dudley, Mary Stevens Hospice and the Fire Fighters Charity.
