Tristram said: “We’ve missed doing crazy stuff since the pandemic, so Comic Relief was the perfect opportunity. 

“I remember watching on LinkedIn last year lots of mad things being done for Comic Relief to raise money and I didn’t want to miss out this year. We wanted something that was fun to take part in, fun for others to watch (and sponsor) and scared us just a little bit so we came up with the #IceBathChallenge. 

“I’m delighted to say that 12 brave members of the team took the dunk, along with Kirsty Botten, Roma, Sally Precious-Ward, Together and Charlie Gregory. Also, Hope who turned up on the day to take part. Between us, headline sponsor Kuflink and 17 other sponsors we have raised an incredible £5,880 for Comic Relief.”
