An amazing event hosted by Mitre last week in our London HQ! Congratulations to everyone involved in making it happen.

Over the summer we launched the ‘Getting Active for Good’ campaign, encouraging our people to move more, and raising money for charity along the way. In response to the statement we co -signed with the World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry (WFSGI), calling for urgent action in the face of a global physical inactivity crisis, we challenged our people to move for 150 minutes each week for five weeks. To motivate everyone to get moving, the more they moved the more money was donated to charity. By reaching 150 minutes, prizes could be won, and money was added to each location’s charity pot! The money raised by each location would then be donated to a charity of their choice. The Campaign was a huge success, watch the video below, or follow the link to find out more: https://lnkd.in/ekibbK-U

Berghaus have launched their new ICONS collection and campaign, rooted in the styles that defined the brands bond with British culture in the 80s and 90s. The launch brings back archive classics the Trango, Mera Peak and Lumley jackets, reimagined and modernised for today. Captured by legendary British photographer Alasdair Mclellan, the campaign features icons Liam Gallagher and Sir Chris Bonington wearing pieces synonymous with their past. “My first encounter with Berghaus was through my brother Noel. He purchased a green one in the late 80s and I was always pinching it off him. They were all the rage and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one of my own. I thought to myself ‘when I’m rich and famous I’m getting myself one.’ I finally did that and I’ve still got it to this day. To be asked to work with them on their comeback means a lot.” – Liam Gallagher Find out more about the collection here: https://lnkd.in/eby4yfn6
