BFT Climbs Snowdon to Raise Funds in Colleague’s Memory


BFT Automation has raised £4,234 for Macmillan Cancer Support – and is working towards raising £5,000 for Cancer Research – after climbing Mount Snowdon in a colleague’s memory.


Andrew Hutchins, Automation Advisor at BFT, lost his battle with bladder cancer last year. The climb was originally planned to raise funds for Macmillan, which supported Andrew during his end-of-life care, but following his passing, friends and family decided to direct further fundraising to Cancer Research.


Seventeen colleagues from BFT’s offices in Swindon and Stockport and friends took part in the climb on 2 April as part of a range of fundraising initiatives by the company.

“Andrew was a valued member of the team for many years and we’ve been honoured to climb Mount Snowdon in his memory, after cancer took him before he had the chance to conquer it himself,” said Peter Gansbuehler, an Automation Advisor at BFT, who worked alongside Andrew and organised the climb.
