Quickline colleagues scale Three Peaks to support fellow Yorkshire veterans

Two Quickline colleagues who served on the frontline together, Installation Engineer Aaron Huntley and Infrastructure Engineer Ian Midgley, have conquered the Yorkshire Three Peaks to support fellow Yorkshire veterans.

Huntley and Midgley were part of a 20-strong team of Quickline employees who helped raise £3,500 for Yorkshire veterans’ charity Hull 4 Heroes, which offers practical support to veterans and their families.

Aaron and Ian served together in the 1st Battalion the Royal Yorkshire Regiment for 10 and 14 years respectively, with Ian reaching the rank of Lance Corporal and Aaron becoming a Corporal. They served together in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as taking part in numerous other missions across the world, while Aaron also served in Kosovo.

Huntley said: “The work Hull 4 Heroes does is phenomenal and a big help to those who have only known military life for such a long time. Being a civilian is a completely different world and the charity is there to help with that.

Midgley added: “Hull 4 Heroes is making a massive difference to ex-military personnel and their families as many don’t know where to turn or what to do. Completing this challenge was a great team building exercise for a brilliant cause.”

Part of Quickline’s recruitment strategy is focused on employing veterans and Quickline recently attended a recruitment day at Catterick Barracks in North Yorkshire during a British Forces Resettlement Services event.
