Taking on the Peaks Challenge

    Taking on the Peaks Challenge

    This September, 20 of our colleagues will take on two of the most iconic hiking adventures, raising vital funds for our valued community partners as part of our ongoing commitment to support the communities we serve across the UK and Ireland.

    Four Peaks, Ireland

    First up is the Four Peaks Challenge in Ireland, from 1st September until 3rd September – a 48-hour endurance expedition, climbing the highest peaks in each of the four provinces of Ireland and taking in some of the best views in the country.

    Tackling the peaks of Carrauntooh, Mweelrea, Slieve Donard and Lugnaquilla, our team will be supporting Inner City Enterprise, which champions unemployed people to set up their own business, as well as supporting social enterprises and encouraging entrepreneurship. Our donations will go towards providing specialised training and mentoring support across website design, finance, and business strategy.

    Three Peaks, UK

    Later in September, from Tuesday 19th to Wednesday 20th, 10 of our colleagues will take on Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell Pike in England, finishing up with Welsh mountain Snowden – on a clear day it’s possible to see four kingdoms, 24 countries, 29 lakes and 17 islands from Snowden’s summit!

    With a total height of almost 3,000m, our colleagues are training hard for the occasion.

    This group of explorers will be raising funds for The Big Issue, changing lives through enterprise by part funding the salary of a Big Issue Vendor Frontline Worker, a vital role which provides housing, health, wellbeing, employment and training support to around 75 Big Issue vendors, all who manage their own individual micro-enterprise, purchasing copies of the Big Issue magazine to sell on the UK’s streets.

    We’re excited and inspired to support such brilliant charities, and can’t wait to see how our colleagues get on with their expedition of a lifetime.

    Want to motivate our teams to keep training hard over the coming weeks? If you’re able to, you can donate here:

    Harriet Kininmonth sets out C&C’s wine strategy

      Taking on the Peaks Challenge

      Two years on since Harriet Kininmonth took on the Wine Trading Director role at C&C, she has created a very clear wine strategy across Bibendum Wine, Matthew Clark, Walker & Wodehouse, Tennent’s Direct and Bibendum Off Trade.

      Though challenging, Harriet describes her job as “one of the best jobs in the industry, if not the best job,” and reflects on the last two years as “exhilarating.”

      Talking to Richard Siddle in ‘The Buyer’, Harriet outlines how she has developed a clear group strategy to support and service our valued producers and customers, focusing on:

      • Growing our agency partnerships, with dedicated nurturing of exclusive partnerships and the value they bring, with the likes of Gérard Bertrand Wines and Yealands Wine Group;
      • Setting out our premium credentials and how we work in deep collaboration to grow our artisanal suppliers;
      • Maximising the opportunity of servicing a third of the UK On-Trade with a market-leading, quality wine range.

      Joining C&C in the height of Covid, Harriet has had her hands full and there is never a dull moment in her role, “There is so much vision and change and purpose within the business that there is always so much to do and there is no standing still.” 

      People is another key priority for Harriet, as she highlights the importance of building a ‘diverse’ team who all have ‘different strengths’ and ‘bring ideas to the table.’ 

      The future looks extremely exciting, as her wine vision continues to unfold.
