The latest Industry Leader Challenge (ILC) was plagued with hurdles before our intrepid team could even take on the biggest ILC to date including a pandemic. A team of industry leaders from well-known automotive businesses took on The Climb – to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro!
Each intrepid industry leader, along with a future leader from each company, climbed one of the world’s most iconic peaks, in November 2022.
ILC 2022 The Climb
What was the challenge like?
Our industry leader challengers climbed the highest free-standing mountain on earth, a staggering 5,895 metres tall. Battling through 90km of extreme trekking, freezing temperatures, high altitude, brutal ascents and severe weather. Tackling such a hostile environment pushed the team the limit physically and mentally.
How did the team prepare?
The industry leaders tackled some tough challenges as part of their busy training regime. By the end of 2021, they had already conquered a huge 1,509km and a height gain of 92,508m, totalling over 2million steps – equivalent to climbing Kilimanjaro almost 16 times!
Why Kilimanjaro?
The challenge was chosen to represent that everyone has their own mountain to climb at some point in their life – no matter who they are, what they do, or where they come from.
