Fundraising Hike for Construction Youth Trust & Maddie Rose Campaign

In October 2022, a team of 100 employees from across the Group took on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge in the UK. In torrential rains and gale force winds, the teams hiked over 24 miles of terrain, across Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-ghent, raising funds for the Maddie Rose Campaign, in association with the Construction Youth Trust.

The total raised funds was in excess of £16,500, that contributed towards a total of over £108,000 raised for the Construction Youth Trust in support of the Maddie Rose Campaign. The teams look forward to planning another challenge in 2023.

Steve Durdant-Hollamby, Managing Director of our Water Management Solutions Business Unit commented: “It was an absolute delight to see so many people taking up the challenge from the Genuit Group. The teams were in great spirit considering the brutal conditions and everyone just got on with the job in hand. Thank you to everyone who has donated, celebrated and shared the Maddie Rose Campaign. The funds raised will enable Construction Youth Trust to raise awareness of the huge variety of jobs available in the suppliers and builders’ merchant sector as well as the wider construction industry, and support young people to overcome barriers and enter the world of work.”
