Fisher German staff have raised tens of thousands of pounds for various charities after completing a challenge to travel to each of the firm's 25 offices without using motorised transport.

Travelling on horseback, roller skates and paddleboards, as well as in boats and canoes, staff completed the 2,400-mile relay earlier this month, having begun in May, to celebrate its 25th anniversary.

Originally aiming to raise at least £25,000 to split equally between 25 charities, staff had collected £30,123 by the time they completed the final leg at the firm's London offices at Becket House, 36 Old Jewry, in the City.

With the property consultancy agreeing before the start of the challenge to match-fund any donations up to £25,000 from supporters, a total of £55,000 will be split between the charities.

Each office nominated their own beneficiary, which ranged from Simon Community Scotland in Glasgow and Tŷ Hafan in Cwmbran; to Devon Air Ambulance in Exeter and Hearing Dogs for Deaf People in High Wycombe.

Debra UK, XLP and Thames Valley Air Ambulance were among the charities who joined a celebration party at the firm’s London office following the completion of the final leg.

Stuart Flint, partner at Fisher German, said in a statement: "When colleagues set off on May 9 from our London office along the Grand Union Canal, we knew this was going to be a tough challenge, but everyone has responded magnificently.

"Whether we ran, walked, cycled, canoed, paddleboarded or sailed, it was a great chance to get to know colleagues away from the office and to encourage each other every step of the way.

"We also mustn’t forget the vital help of the support crew on each leg who provided much-needed assistance when required since colleagues weathered the full gauntlet of rain, sun and wind.

"But nobody gave up because we knew we were raising funds for charities who carry out such fantastic work in the communities where our 25 offices are based, and many came along to wave us off at each leg."

The Big 25 coincided with the company undergoing a major rebrand.
