\"Group<\/p>\n

Look out for eleven hardy souls in SpecialEffect tops traversing the Thames in early September, braving whatever the British weather throws at them. They\u2019ll be the team from Mountford Pigott, a London-based architectural practice who have taken on the Thames Bridges Trek, a 25km challenge route that takes in 16 bridges.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo celebrate our 101st anniversary we launched the Mountford Pigott 101 Initiative,\u201d said David Turner, a Project Runner with the company. \u201cWe\u2019re taking 101 worktime hours of social value service throughout the year, and in addition we\u2019re tackling team-building challenges like this one as part of our wellbeing programme.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Thames Bridges Trek is part of the Ultra Challenge<\/a> programme, a series of 15 long-distance running\/jogging\/walking events around the UK. The programme raises millions of pounds for charity as well as providing a great opportunity for individuals and groups to participate in adventures around the UK.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re so excited to be supporting this amazing charity and the work that you do,\u201d said David. \u201cWe\u2019ve loved reading about the clever adaptations that allow people to have access to the digital world!\u00a0 Clearly, many people feel the same as we do about SpecialEffect since we\u2019ve had a fantastic response on our Justgiving page<\/a> as well as great messages of support \u2013 although quite a few mention throwing one particular team member in the water\u2026 hmmm.\u201d<\/p>\n

So far the team haven\u2019t organised any group training events but they are looking forward to a team breakfast at a local staffer\u2019s house \u2013 although it will add another 5000 steps to their count for the day!<\/p>\n

A huge thank you to Mountford Pigott. We\u2019re so grateful for their amazing support, and hope that the challenge isn\u2019t a bridge too far for the team!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Look out for eleven hardy souls in SpecialEffect tops traversing the Thames in early September, braving whatever the British weather throws at them.
