🚶👑 We walked the walk and talked the talk at this year’s Royal Ramble, with our biggest year yet! 800 employees took part in the 20-mile walk, raising £135,000 for The Duke of Edinburgh's Award (@DofE) – and there wasn’t a Lime Bike in sight! This year we headed east, starting at Olympic Park in Stratford, making our way into Central London before looping back to the starting point. The money raised from this challenge could help give more than 4,000 young people, from all walks of life, the opportunity to start their life changing DofE journey. Watch a snippet from the day, below ⬇️

Check out the smiling faces of this year’s Royal Ramblers – taking on a 20-mile walk to raise money for The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (@DofE) 👑 Our third Royal Ramble started (and finished!) at Olympic Park, Stratford. The walk took ramblers in a loop back into central London, passing iconic sights such as St Paul’s and the Tower of London, and through greenery like Hackney Marshes and Victoria Park 🌳 The 800 employees who took part raised over £135,000 for the DofE – our biggest and best year yet! This money could enable the charity to reach more than 4,000 young people from all walks of life to develop their skills and experiences. 👏 A big round of applause to all those who took part in the day, ramblers and volunteers alike!

🧰 Celebrating #NationalApprenticeshipWeek with two of our apprentices – Tony Skerry, from our 1975 class, and Marcel Lopez, from our 2025 class. From our foundation class to our 40 club, it’s safe to say apprentices play a significant role here at UK Power Networks. In fact, we’ve had more than 500 apprentices join us since 2010. ▶️Both passionate about our programme, watch Tony and Marcel talk everything apprenticeships in our video.

Did you know we’re part of the reason the British countryside is just so beautiful? 🏞️🌳 Through our Visual Amenity Projects, we remove overhead power lines from National Landscapes and National Parks and replace them with underground cables – enhancing the appearance of these protected landscapes. ➡️Swipe through to witness some of the incredible after shots of sites we’ve worked at, and to see our new VAP map. Let us know your favourite "after" shot in the comments! #AreasofNaturalBeauty #BritishCountryside #UKNationalParks
