Amy Kent, Managing Director of Mandate Systems said: "It was a tough challenge and at times we didn't think the whole team were going to make it, but we rallied together and pushed each other on.

"I think this is one of my proudest achievements and I feel I have done something great for our family members that have been affected by dementia and heart disease."

The two charities were chosen because they are close to the hearts of several of the Mandate staff.

"We're so grateful for all the support we received, not just with the fundraising but with helping to spur us on with our training and helping us to achieve our goal," said Ms Kent.

"We're very pleased to have raised such a significant sum for two very worthy causes.
