Fifteen Cornwall team enters Hotelympia 10k race

Some of our staff have entered into the Hotelympia 10k race which is happening at the end of the month, on 28th February. The race is for charity and aims to raise money for Springboard UK which helps young, unemployed and disadvantaged people into careers in hospitality, leisure, travel and tourism.

Our team of eight staff will also be raising money for our own charity, the Cornwall Foundation of Promise which has very similar aims to Springboard.

Running from Fifteen Cornwall on behalf of the Cornwall Foundation of Promise are:

Oliver Gibson – Assistant Restaurant Manager.
Oli is very much hoping to win this race. He’s a serious runner and is currently ranked very high on the Cornwall running scene!

Adam Banks – Senior Sous Chef – not quite shimmying in the same circles as Oli but does enjoy running and is likely to do quite well. He can handle the heat in the kitchen but will he cope with the pressures of competing in a 10K?

Karl Jones – Training and Development Chef……he’s a keen surfer, but can he run???? We’ll see!!!

Jason Brain – Jason has recently joined us as part of the front of house team. Likes keeping fit so no stranger to running.

Pauline Tune – Hostess with the mostest! She’s the power walking queen so shouldn’t find it hard to step it up a gear into a jog. Go Pauline, you can do it!

Jen Platt – our lady in reservations…..she’s always pounding the pavements so we reckon she’ll do well in this race.

Gordon Lawrence –Sommelier –Knows a lot about wine and does a bit of surfing now and again.

Helen Dane – one of our front of house ladies. A keen keep fitter and ready to give it her all!

Big thanks to White Stuff for supplying our team with sweatshirts, local company Rumbles2 for printing them and also General Catering Supplies for sponsoring all of the travel and accommodation.

Good Luck team – your workmates are
behind you!
