Furniture Makers to walk the West Highland Way

The Furniture Makers’ Company, the furnishing industry’s charity, is inviting the public to join them and 2 Rifles, the Company’s military affiliate, on a 100-mile sponsored trek of the West Highland Way in 2018. 

The challenge will take place from 21st-26th April and see 15 participants walk 15-30km per day as they make their way from Milngavie in Greater Glasgow and finish at Fort William – the gateway to Ben Nevis. 

The cost of participating will be £350 per walker with meals and accommodation provided. Each person will have to commit to raising a minimum of £1000 for the charity. Sponsorship opportunities are also available. 

Jonny Westbrooke, CEO of The Furniture Makers’ Company, says: “The West Highland Way walk is perfect for anyone looking to undertake a challenge in 2018 or simply shed a few unwanted pounds following the revelry of Christmas. 

“We are absolutely delighted that it will be supported by 2 Rifles, which will give an excellent opportunity for participants to meet with soldiers, get fit and raise funds for their industry charity.” 

Those wanting more information should contact Richard Ainsworth, head of fundraising, by emailing [email protected] or call 020 7562 8527. An application form is available to download here.
