Peak Fitness Required for the Three Peaks Challenge…

Posted on in News

Success in business can be defined in many ways but there is no doubt that personal challenges stretch a person’s horizons. The vulnerability that comes with the unknown heightens one’s levels of humility, and in its wake comes learning.

At MYA we believe that continually extending our vision drives team commitment, which in turn strengthens our approach and creativity towards client projects.

Last year Carla, our MD, made a fund-raising journey by riding her electric Zero motorcycle from London to Paris and back using a large number of untarmacked trails and byways. This year, Catherine and Becky will be raising funds for Young Minds* as they attempt the mighty Three Peaks Challenge, scaling the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales: Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon.

Last weekend they successfully climbed Snowdon as part of their training. They are due to make the main attempt on 16th July – to climb all Three Peaks in just 24 hours. Determination and commitment shine through as both these ladies are managing very busy work schedules and yet are still able to make a difference for others through their personal endeavours.

  • We recently worked with the team at MYA on a bid for a tender for multiple catering sites. Their proactive, innovative and dynamic approach to the task was a breath of fresh air, and we were able to work systematically through a complex set of designs with an abundance of creativity and design options to consider. Throughout the whole process, the team at MYA were fully engaged and, above all, great fun to work with. I will definitely be working with the team again on future projects and would highly recommend them as design consultants.

  • The team, led by Carla McKenzie, were meticulous in every detail. They modelled the cleaning requirements to deliver the optimum solution for the facilities across EMEA, and really took time to understand the culture of our business. I have no hesitation in recommending MYA and its team – they are dedicated and innovative, and always go the extra mile.
