Lovells "ropes in" clients for charity event.

Around 30 Lovells Staff - together with clients from Barclays, Eli Lilly, ITV, Lloyds, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Prudential - abseiled from the 11th floor of Atlantic House, Holborn Viaduct, EC1 to raise money for charity.

The fourth annual abseiling event, on the 26th October, was part of the firm's fundraising campaign, which this year is raising funds for sight-saving charity ORBIS and sports charity ParalympicsGB.

Sixty people braved the ten storey drop with Prudential's Will Lowndes and Lovells partner Dan Norris completing the challenge dressed as Batman and Robin, while Emma Riddle and Julius Kotzenburg of Barclays descended as Star Wars characters Princess Leia and Darth Vader.

Phil Lane CEO of ParalympicsGB and paralympian Dervis Konuralp also took part in the event, and videos of their decent can be seen here.

Lovells hopes to raise up to £10,000 for the charities this year.

Maybe these sporting fellows will be "roped in" by Camden Council which appears to have come up with a new way of insulating tower blocks. To read more visit the London Residential Blog.
