Interview with Prima Solutions MD John Norman

In 2007, leading software company Prima Solutions will be sponsoring the Prima Solutions Adventure Challenge for a second year. The 16 teams who took part in the September 2006 launch event raised over ?50,000 for CARE. Here, MD of Prima Solutions, John Norman, tells us about the company?s involvement with CARE.

Q Why does Prima Solutions choose to support CARE International through sponsorship of the Prima Solutions Adventure Challenge?

A Since we first started to trade, in 1991, Prima Solutions has organised one event each year to raise funds supporting a variety of organisations that are making a positive difference to people?s lives. CARE International does that every day and this Adventure Challenge is a great opportunity for our customers and all other clothing, footwear and accessory companies to help us support their much needed and fantastic work.

Q In what ways do you feel the company benefits from sponsorship of this event?

A Everyone at Prima Solutions has contributed in one way or another. Either by helping with the organisation, helping with fundraising, or taking part in the event.

It has seen lots of people working together to achieve one common goal which has been great for team spirit.

Q What are your hopes for the 2007 event?

A I?d like to see the event oversubscribed in 2007 and to exceed our fundraising total of 2006.

Q Will Prima Solutions be entering teams again this year [in 2006 they entered 5 teams]?

A I wouldn?t know how to stop them.

Q Do you have a message for teams from the fashion industry considering taking part this year?

A Just do it!  It?s a great event and CARE is a fantastic organisation. You?ll miss out if you don?t.

 

The 2007 Prima Solutions Adventure Challenge is a one-day multi-activity Challenge, involving hiking, biking and canoeing, taking place on Sunday 16th September in Snowdonia National Park, Wales. The event is tailored exclusively for companies working across the fashion and retail sector.

We certainly have lots to offer in the charity cycling department. There are charity rides where you can cycle London to Brighton or you can even do a charity bike ride from London to Paris, if London to Brighton isn't far enough! We also have some charity walks and hikes. Later this year we have a sponsored walk that is 25 miles long in order to celebrate the 25th anniversary of CARE International's UK office. If activities outdoors and adventure weekends get your adrenalin pumping, then why not sign up for one of our mountain challenges?
