A team from the Recruitment Society walked 40 miles around the South Downs, in Sussex last weekend, raising around £25,000 for Save the Children.

The team finished the event in 12.5 hours and for the second year running came fifth out of 17 teams involved.

Recruitment Society chairman Steve Huxham said: “A very big thank you once again to everyone personally and corporately who supported us by encouragement, good luck emails, kind thoughts, and of course with pledges from your wallets!

“It is all deeply appreciated and makes the whole thing worthwhile,” Huxham added.
