A gentle Giant
Joe was a cherished member of the Howardson Group family, working in the warehouse and factory. Known as a true “gentle giant,” Joe was deeply respected and admired by all who knew him.
He was a well-known figure in the cricketing world, always cheerful, kind, and willing to lend a helping hand.
His hardworking and honest nature made him an integral part of the team, and his intelligence shone through as a member of the winning quiz team at Howardson’s 2024 event.
Joining the Howardson team for the challenge are Mark Willerton, Sales Manager from Russell Groundcare, and Paul Thompson, Head Groundsperson at Derby County FC.
A Demanding Journey
Together, they will be guided by Mountain Bear Adventures as they take on this demanding journey.
Taking place on the 5th and 6th of June, the National Three Peaks Challenge involves climbing a total of 3,064 meters (10,052 feet) over 23 miles (37 km), with a gruelling 462 miles of driving between peaks. The mountains they will tackle are:
- Ben Nevis (Scotland) – 1,345m
- Scafell Pike (England) – 978m
- Snowdon (Wales) – 1,085m
Supporting The British Heart Foundation
This extraordinary effort is a testament to the impact Joe had on those around him.
Howardson Group is proud to support the British Heart Foundation through this fundraising effort. Donations will go towards life-saving research and support for those affected by heart conditions.
