HMG Paints Employees Prepare for Three Peaks Challenge Benefiting 2025 Charities

On Thursday, June 19th, Manchester-based family business HMG Paints will be setting their sights high with staff from the coatings manufacturer set to take on the British Three Peaks Challenge. This challenge, which takes course over 3 full days, will see HMG Paints aim to raise funds for their three chosen charities of 2025.

This upcoming challenge follows a proud history of staff-led fundraising efforts, including successful fundraisers such as the Manchester to Scarborough bike ride for Macmillan Cancer Support in 2016, and more recently, 2024’s ambitious independent fundraiser for the Scotland North Coast 500 for Francis House Children’s Hospice.

This challenging event will see staff from HMG scale three of the UK’s highest mountains, totalling in at around 10,000 ft. The climb will see staff at HMG visit Ben Nevis in Scotland, standing at 4,413 ft, England’s highest mountain Scafell Pike, reaching 3,560 ft, and Wales’ highest peak Snowdon, hitting 3,560 ft.

“The Three Peaks Challenge is something that has been on my bucket list for a while now, and I’m looking forward to it,” said Brian Dowling, HMG Paints’ Health, Safety & Environment Manager. “Any support for our fundraiser would be much appreciated.”

Josh Hibbert, Marketing Assistant at HMG Paints, added, “It’s inspiring to see the dedication of our team taking on such a tough challenge for these amazing causes. We’re all in this together, and every donation, big or small, makes a real difference for the three charities we have chosen to support this year.”

With every step taken from staff at HMG, the team will raise funds for staff-selected charities, picked out internally for the upcoming year, including Cancer Research, funding-life saving research aimed towards cancer; Francis House Children’s Hospital, providing palliative care and support for seriously ill children; and Memories by Hudson, supporting parents who have lost newborns with comforting gifts.

HMG are incredibly proud to support these organizations throughout the year, and the team are committed to pushing their limits to help these causes as they prepare to take on one of the UK’s formidable challenges. A fundraiser has been setup by the team leading up to the climb, which HMG Paints are proud to share that the fundraiser is already halfway towards reaching our initial foal, a testament to the incredible support the climb has received so far.

HMG are encouraging everyone to watch the team take part in this climb, and support them if they can, with each donation, you can help to fill our staff with determination and contribute directly to the incredible work of all the charities involved.
