Ben reveals The Glacier as next Industry Leader Challenge
Automotive industry charity Ben has announced next year’s Industry Leader Challenge will be The Glacier in Iceland.
Taking place from 18-27 March, The Glacier will see 24 participants ski-trekking through sub-zero temperatures and dramatic terrain to raise funds for the charity.
Eight days out of 10 will be spent on the ice cap, with participants ski-trekking up to eight hours a day 1,450m above sea level, with temperatures falling as low as -25°C overnight.
The challenge will include seven nights of camping, with zero contact with the outside world.
To take part, up to 12 teams of two will need to raise a minimum of £25,000 per team for Ben, with LKQ Euro Car Parts and Hella already signed up.
Epic challenge
Matt Wigginton, director of growth and development, said: “This may just be our most epic challenge yet. As with all ILC events, the main focus is on raising vital funds to support automotive industry people who are facing challenges that no-one should ever have to tackle alone.
“If you’re a leader in the automotive industry and you’ve ever been curious about what lies beyond your limits, this is your chance. The Glacier will be a challenge of endurance and personal growth, while raising money to support members of our automotive family who are struggling or in crisis.
“Now more than ever, automotive people need Ben – and we need you and your support. If you’re up for this once-in-a-lifetime challenge, then get in touch with me today.”
