Myself, Craig Driver and Steve Welsh are all work colleagues who are aiming to conquer the Yorkshire Three Peaks on Saturday 23rd July.

This will be a complete challenge for us all who aren't in the best shape!..and will probably be driven only by the carvery and pints waiting for us at the end!

His Dad, Stepmum and Sister all work or worked at KONE and are a very well loved and respected family.
