AMP employees will have the opportunity to abseil off the AMP building in Sydney’s Circular Quay as part of a charity event to be held this month.
The Abseil for Youth event, in support of the Sir David Martin Foundation, will see around 200 abseilers descend the heritage listed landmark. 43 AMP staff will participate in the event, with all including AMP Financial Services Managing Director, Craig Meller.
“I’m looking forward to sharing the experience with all the other participants, while also helping to raise funds and awareness for this worthy cause,” said Mr Meller.
The event will be held over two days on 21 and 22 October on the AMP Building’s eastern face.
