In memory of a beloved colleague, Nick Jewitt, who sadly passed away last year, his colleagues are raising money for a charity Nick held dear, Menphys. The charity supports disabled children, young people and their families.

On 18^th September a team from Ring took part in the Three Peaks challenge, which saw them climb Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon within 24 hours. Overall, the challenge saw the team take on 37km of walking and 10,052ft of ascent.

Colleagues who took part in this challenge included Nick Davy, James Shippen, Scott Page, Ben Sheffield, Connor Beard, Darren Creech, Josh Dawson and Luke Jubb.

The company set up a dedicated fundraising page for anyone who wants to donate: https://www.justgiving.com/page/ring-automotive?utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz–8Ap7Gwi8AyYIM8VlPGl-Uz8vyeOtk8phyLIdyGsrq29EdwFUGio1uHV_Szfw-P8Jh-ydMSVg_9BHECHYKso8l1DJgDQ&_hsmi=144843398&utm_content=144843398&utm_source=hs_email. So far the team have raised nearly £2,500 and any further donations are greatly appreciated by all.

Importantly, Ring’s parent company, OSRAM Automotive, has agreed to match the funds raised, doubling the contribution to the charity.

Nick Davy, MD of Ring who took part in the challenge, commented: “Earlier in the year, we undertook the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge as a team and found it to be a fantastic bonding experience.

“After the loss of our colleague, Nick Jewitt, last year, we felt it was only right to do something to honour his memory, and Menphys was incredibly important to him. While it was a tough challenge, we were proud to do it in memory of Nick.”
