Thirteen Fluidata employees – team name ‘Bandwidth Bandits’ – were among the 6000 people who took part in the challenge. The grounds of Broughton Manor in Kettering were transformed for the day into a gruelling course of mud pits, barbed wire tunnels, electric shock fields, four-foot flames, and high walls. The Bandwidth Bandits completed the course together, helping each other to the finish line.
Piers Daniell, Fluidata’s MD, said: “Our clients, friends and partners showed incredible generosity, and we owe them a huge thank you for sponsoring us. The thought of the money we were raising kept us all going.”
The next challenge? “We’re going to let the dust settle, and then look at what the next challenge might be,” says Daniell. “We’re definitely up for doing something similar next year. It’s a great team event and a way to do something really worthwhile for a worthwhile cause.”
