More than 130 'athletes' including family members, suppliers and subcontractors took part in the challenge which comprised an 8-mile walk or cycle around a specially selected route at Whitelee Wind Farm, near Glasgow, which is the location of one the company's major ongoing contracts.

Julie Houston, procurement assistant, who was heavily involved in organising the event and who took part herself said: 'Despite the wild and wet weather, everyone got into the team spirit and helped each other along.'

The event was held in memory of BBES colleague Stuart Wilson who passed away last year.
