Getting to know: Kelly’s Heroes Climb Kilimanjaro – Barry Halpin
As part of the Kelly’s Heroes Climb Kilimanjaro charity fundraiser, we are getting to know the team taking on the incredible challenge between 12-21 September 2024.
Next up we have UAP’s Barry Halpin!
Name: Barry Halpin
Job title: Group Sales Director
Company: UAP LTD
How long you’ve been there? 11 years
How long have you been in the glazing industry in total? 25 years
Why are you climbing Kilimanjaro? Why wouldn’t you!!?? It’s a bucket list trip.
How are you preparing? Plenty of walking with the dog and up and down hills where I live.
What are you least looking forward to? Summit night!
What are you most looking forward to? Returning to base having completed the challenge. I can imagine the sense of relief and pride in equal amounts.
What does Kelly’s Heroes mean to you? Before taking up this challenge, I only had a small amount of knowledge about Kelly’s Heroes. Since raising money for Kelly’s Heroes, the amount of people that have told me that this has directly affected them, is mind blowing. Raising this money will hopefully directly help those in need.
