Simons Muirhead Burton is delighted to announce that our talented team of legal experts have completed the arduous 24 Peaks Challenge, raising to date a whopping £16,260.
As part of its CSR efforts, an SMB team embarked on the 24 Peaks Challenge last Friday, raising vital funds for our Charity of The Year, The Motor Neurone Disease Association. We are pleased to share that our team surpassed their original goal of £10,500, totalling more than £16,000 in donations.
The strenuous hike spanned 50km across the scenic Lake District, including several well-known peaks such as Scafell Pike and Helvellyn with our team trekking for around 12 hours per day.
Speaking on the group’s efforts and surpassing the donation goal, Senior Associate and chair of SMB’s CSR Committee, John Harrington said:
“The challenge was incredibly difficult but the team was amazing and we are delighted to have raised so much money for MNDA.”
Thanks very much to all those who donated, and well done to our team for completing the challenge, we are very proud of you!
We are delighted to announce that Gordon Clough has been promoted to Partner.

One of the most striking themes to emerge from the discussions was captured by the British Business Bank, who observed that “the UK has no shortage of capital, the issue is risk appetite.” It is a sentiment that resonated throughout the day’s conversations and underpins many of the challenges facing the UK’s investment landscape.
