Housebuilder Challenge Complete! UK Connect climb ten peaks for charity
On the 9th July 2021, the Youth Adventure Trust hosted the Housebuilder Challenge in the Brecon Beacons, Wales. Teams from across the housebuilding and construction industries took on ten peaks including Pen Y Fan, the highest peak in South Wales.
A huge achievement
Never ones to shy away from a challenge, UK Connect’s account managers Lauren Brook, Chris Vaughan and Kate Dixon completed the Housebuilder Challenge together with others including teams from Crest Nicholson, Taylor Wimpey, Dandara, Wain Homes and Balfour Beatty Homes.

UK Connect in the mountains
Whilst in the mountains, UK Connect also supplied reusable water bottles to keep participants going, as well as a selfie board so that teams could celebrate and document their achievements.
As Cradlepoint’s EMEA Partner of the year, UK Connect also brought along one of Cradlepoint’s ruggedised and robust routers. This meant that staff and participants could get connectivity, even in the Brecon Beacons!
