From brain haemorrhage to summiting Mount Everest 🏔️
In 1999, Chris suffered from a serious brain haemorrhage which almost took his life. Despite the doctor's advice, Chris decided to proceed with his plan to climb Everest the following year. And he succeeded - he and his team were the first to summit the south side of the mountain. One member of his team was Polly Murray, who became the first Scottish woman to summit Everest and is still an ambassador for Tiso today. Discover the indomitable spirit that drives Chris and inspires us all to reach for the highest peaks, both literally and metaphorically.

Taking Risks in a Recession 📉
During the 2008 recession, the construction industry suffered greatly, shrinking at a faster rate than the world had ever seen. As many tradesmen began to lose their jobs, Jonny saw an opportunity to start his own business. Despite having only one week's worth of work lined up, Jonny took the risk and made the jump. Today, Orocco is a successful joinery business, and it is safe to say that Jonny's decision paid off in the end.

The Our Stories Your City Project 🌆

Vulnerable communities can feel disconnected from their city and its stories. To address this issue, Mercat established the Our Stories Your City Project. Donations are used to provide the same 5-star tour that you would enjoy to members of the GCP and vulnerable local children, free of charge and at an exclusive discount offered by attractions. Your donations make this possible.

Victoria loved working as a computer programmer at Edinburgh University... well, apart from the part where she had to answer to other people. 💻
As her 'side hustle' began to take off, Victoria had to go down to a part-time position within the university - luckily they were more lenient in that respect. 😅
