A TEAM of architects is drawing up plans to mark the company's 10th year in business by taking on the Worcester City 10k challenge in aid of St Richard’s Hospice.

Worcester based KKE Architects was 10 years old in April 2015 and have been celebrating the occasion with a range of special events, including a bake-off with the theme "10" and a summer party at its Diglis Basin offices.

Continuing in the groove, 10 KKE colleagues and friends will join together on Sunday, September 20 to take part in the Worcester event. The energetic team will include Will Randall, Sarah Applegate, Jamie Randall, Andrew Jennings, Joe Procter-Nicholls, Kyle Fowler, Helen White, Phil Kavanagh, Emily Kippen and Guy Kippen.

Phil Kavanagh, director at KKE Architects, said: “We wanted to do something special to celebrate our first decade in business and the team decided that this challenge would offer the ideal opportunity for us to achieve something worthwhile. St Richard’s Hospice is a fantastic local charity, and was one of our first clients when its Wildwood Drive base was being designed and built. We are delighted to be able to raise money to help them care for patients and their families.

“Some members of the team are runners, but others haven’t taken on a challenge like this before. However, the whole team is pulling together and are supporting each other through their training. We are all looking forward to a great atmosphere on the day, and to the satisfaction of reaching the finish line.” To donate to KKE Architect’s fund, visit justgiving.com/KKE-Architects-Ltd
