Bennett Opie Ltd, creators of Opies’ Cocktail Gherkins was the main sponsor of the NSPCC’s Gherkin Challenge, which took place last Sunday, 19th June. Last year Opie’s sold almost 1.1million jars of cocktail gherkins, which if stacked end to end, would be 660 times higher than the Gherkin building, so therefore it was a natural choice to support the event and the valuable work the NSPCC. As well as being a main sponsor, a 9-strong Bennett Opie team ran the 38 floors to the top of iconic London skyscraper, The Gherkin.
Managing Director at Bennett Opie Limited, William Opie, said: “We were pleased to support the NSPCC and its fantastic Gherkin Challenge which is so appropriate for us, given the association between the location of the event and one of our signature lines. Our team was a mix of ages and they all thoroughly enjoyed the experience – especially as they have now all had time to recover!”
