A Harron Homes employee is supporting a Guinness World Record attempt for the fastest Three Peaks completion by an amputee. Funds raised are being donated to Phoenix Heroes CIC, our Charity of the Year.

Daniel Hoole, Operations Engineer at Harron Homes North Midlands, will take part in the challenge from 23rd to 25th May this year. Dan will be part of a team that will together support former World’s Strongest Disabled Man Darren Greenfield, who is attempting to set the record of fastest Three Peaks time for an amputee, completing the challenge in just three days.

Other well-known figures making up the support team include former Special Forces soldier and television personality Billy Billingham, as well as three-time World Champion angler Rob Hughes.

The funds raised for the challenge will go towards Phoenix Heroes CIC, a veterans’ charity supporting those affected by PTSD through access to therapy, housing, employment support and long-term recovery services. Daniel, Darren, Billy, and Rob are all ambassadors for the charity.

We have supported the effort by sponsoring the team’s challenge T-shirts, helping to raise visibility for the fundraising campaign throughout the Three Peaks Challenge.

Earlier this year, we named Phoenix Heroes CIC as its Charity of the Year for 2026, reinforcing our commitment to supporting the armed forces community.

Matt Barker, Managing Director at Harron Homes North Midlands, said, “Supporting meaningful causes is a key part of what we do at Harron Homes, and we’re proud to see one of our own team members playing a role in such an inspiring challenge.

“This is an incredible effort that not only pushes physical limits but also raises awareness of the challenges many veterans face. We’re pleased to support Dan and the wider team as they take this on.”

Phoenix Heroes CIC has supported more than 1,000 veterans to date, helping individuals rebuild their lives through structured programmes designed to reduce isolation and promote long-term wellbeing.

Daniel Hoole added, “Phoenix Heroes CIC carries out vital work supporting veterans and their families, and it’s a privilege to be involved in this challenge.

“Being part of a team supporting Darren’s world record attempt makes this even more special, and I’m grateful for the support from Harron Homes as we raise funds and awareness for such an important cause.”
