“We made it” – Mike & Lizzie Deed celebrate raising £15k for Hospice after scaling Africa’s highest mountain

Geoquip’s Mike Deed and his daughter Lizzie have good reason to celebrate after raising £15,000 in a momentous climb up Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.

The pair were part of a six-strong team raising funds for St Helena Hospice in Colchester, and together they faced sleep deprivation, combined with mental and physical exhaustion, as well as coping with temperatures from +30oC to a snowy -15 oC.

Monies raised will go towards the Hospice’s funds for helping families in need. To add to Mike and Lizzie’s final fundraising total, please visit https://doris-stringer-1930-2015.muchloved.com/fundraising/events/194105719


Geoquip rows in to sponsor Atlantic charity challenge

Rowhedge couple Nina and Simon Crouchman will soon be taking on the biggest challenge of their life – the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge – billed as “the world’s toughest row”.

On December 11, they will set off from the Canary Islands on a 3,000-mile journey to Antigua, hoping to raise thousands of pounds for the Samaritans.

Geoquip Water Solutions is helping to support them on their journey after donating £1,500 to sponsor one of the lightweight carbon fibre oars, which will be embossed with the company’s logo and presented to it on return...
