Shelter’s Vertical Rush has Foviance staff running up 28 flights a day in preparation for Tower 42
London, UK, 18 January 2010 – Foviance, the experts in multi-channel customer experience, are taking part in London’s second annual Vertical Rush in aid of housing charity Shelter. Foviance has supported Shelter for a number of years and in the spirit of keeping fit in the New Year, members of staff are preparing for the 920 step run up Tower 42 on February 25th.
Foviance will be running alongside famous faces such as businessman and Dragon’s Den star Duncan Bannatyne, in an attempt to climb 42 floors of London’s tallest building in the city in less than 10 minutes.
Foviance team captain, Adam Hardy said “Each member of our team is fit and active, but stair climbing is notoriously gruelling and none of us know quite how our bodies will react on the day! But we’re relishing the challenge and hope that we can make a considerable contribution towards shelter’s fundraising target of £250,000.”

Shelter is a charity that works to alleviate the distress caused by homelessness and bad housing.
This is done by giving advice, information and advocacy to people in housing need, and by campaigning for lasting political change to end the housing crisis for good. Shelter provides confidential help to people with all kinds of housing problems, tackling the root causes of bad housing by lobbying government and local authorities for new laws and policies, and more investment, to improve the lives of homeless and badly housed people.
Influential campaigns bring aspects of bad housing to the attention of the media and the public, helping to fight for solutions. Shelter also works in conjunction with the housing sector to promote good practice, publish reports, and deliver professional training.
