Two teams of peak performers from Mansell Construction overcame a mountainous challenge to scale the highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales and raise cash for charity.

The two teams from Mansell's Stourbridge-based Western region, including regional managing director Steve Davies, successfully completed the gruelling Three Peaks Challenge, scaling the heights of Britain's highest peaks.

Team One completed the challenge in just 18 hours and 41 minutes, securing a gold medal. Team Two completed in 22 hours and six minutes, earning a bronze medal, and missing out on silver by just six minutes.

The teams scaled Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon. Each team consisted of five climbers plus drivers. 

Their exploits, along with support from more than 20 of Mansell's supply chain partners, raised more than £5000 for Action Heart, Diabetes UK, Derby Hospital Charitable Trust for Head and Neck Cancer Treatment and the Fire Fighters Charity.

Taking part in the challenge in Team One were Mark Boland (captain), Steve Wedge, Steve Oldacre, Peter Rew and Tom Pearson with drivers John Henman, Steve Marsh and Simon Kydd. Team Two was made up of Dean Howard (captain), Steve Davies, Greg Hopkins, Neil Turney, Mick Brennan, Gerry Iafrati and Chris Bissell with drivers Andy Price and roofing sub-contractor Oliver Beaumont.

Mansell regional managing director Steve Davies said, "This was another fantastic team effort following on from our gold medal achievement last year. For Team One to get the gold was tremendous - and the real pleasure is in having been able to raise money for our very good and deserving causes."
