More than 20 Preston car dealership employees have completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge in memory of a much-loved colleague 💙 BowkerBMW
The iconic Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge takes on the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough.
Bowker Motor Group staff first joined forces to tame the Yorkshire Three Peaks in 2010. On that attempt, Crowey posted the quickest time of nine hours and 42 minutes.Challenge organiser, customer service manager, Eoghan Gilbert said: “Crowey was renowned for his fitness and charity challenges. “He completed marathons and devoted personal time as a football coach at Springfields F.C. in Cottam too. He always had time for everyone. So it seemed like the perfect fit to devote our time to a charity challenge in his name.
“We’ve been training for this since February. Like anything worthwhile, it was a struggle for many of us. And we would rather have had Crowey climbing it with us. But we wanted to remember him as a dad, husband, brother, uncle, friend and a hugely-missed member of the Bowker Motor Group family. We hope we did him proud!”
