A 25-strong group from an Island company have raised thousands taking on a gruelling challenge.

Staff from PwC Isle of Man have completed the National Three Peaks Challenge - which sees walkers reach the summit of the highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales in under 24 hours.

The team has generated £6,000 which will be split between Motiv8 - a Manx charity helping those affected by drug, alcohol and gambling addictions - and Cancer Research UK.

Partner at the firm, Paul Jones, has described the success as an 'amazing achievement' from all involved.
