Crutches mountaineer to address Wiltshire firm’s anniversary celebration

The first person to climb to Mount Everest Base Camp on crutches will be the keynote speaker at an event organised to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Wiltshire IT firm Black Nova Designs.

Jamie McAnsh (pictured right), who has chronic regional pain syndrome, woke up one morning to find himself paralysed and since then he has dedicated his life to helping others overcome obstacles to achieve their goals in life or business.

“I’ve known Kyle and Danielle (Holmes) for a long time, and I see them as friends and colleagues,” said Jamie.

“I’m excited to be celebrating their company and the amazing milestone of reaching ten years in business. We all have challenges to overcome in life and business and I look forward to meeting so many people who wish to celebrate with them and to raise money for a worthy local charity.”

Danielle added: “It’s an honour to be able to book Jamie to come to our birthday bash – he’s so busy speaking across the UK and overseas. We had him in mind to come to the event from the very beginning because he is such as inspiration for myself and my husband.”
