A KIDDERMINSTER trader has put his best foot forward to conquer Britain's highest mountain for charity.

Oswald Bailey's manager, John Brookes, and a team of colleagues from stores nationwide climbed Ben Nevis for Children in Need on Tuesday last week.

Mr Brookes was one of 30 employees to take part in the Oswald Bailey's "Peaking at Ben Nevis" hike as part of the company's 100th birthday celebratory fund-raising activities.

The company will support Children In Need throughout its centennial year.
