Congratulations to the IT departments that helped raise £100,000 for charity by taking part in last weekend's Three Peaks Challenge, supported by Computer Weekly.

The sponsored teams climbed Britain's three biggest mountains in under 24 hours: Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell Pike in Cumbria's Lake District, and Mount Snowdon in North Wales.

FMC Technologies finished the task with the fastest time, of just 21 hours, 44 minutes. To add the icing on the cake, team member Richard Preston was completing his 13th CARE challenge, proving that 13 is certainly lucky for some!
