Whisky Focus - First Drinks Team Walk The Length Of The Country For Charity

Well done to the First Drinks staff who have successfully participated in a virtual walk from the company’s Head Office in Hook, Hampshire to the Glenfiddich Distillery in Dufftown, Scotland – all in aid of the Walking With The Wounded charity.

First Drinks is wholly owned by William Grant & Sons and are the people who market and distribute the William Grant brands including Glenfiddich in the UK. The company installed treadmills for staff to walk the 434.4 mile journey. Over 70 members of staff took 42 hours of non-stop walking through day and night to complete the challenge which raised more than £2,000 for the charity.

Earlier this year, Glenfiddich announced a major sponsorship programme with Walking With The Wounded, a charity dedicated to the re-training and re-education of the UK’s servicemen and women. The sponsorship included supporting the Walking With The Wounded team on its attempt to summit Mount Everest.
