Marsh chief executive Marcus Pearson spent five days in March on a 1960 Los Angeles Fire Dept articulated fire truck, travelling across various parts of New Zealand raising and distributing funds for Kiwi kids in need. It was part of the The Trillian Trek (formerly the Variety Bash), which visits schools and communities as part of a seven-day car rally held in March every year.
The trek aims to raise money for things such as specialist mobility or medical equipment, learning tools, speech lessons, school sports equipment or basic supplies. Marsh has sponsored the fire truck for over 20 years. The activity is part of Marsh’s 60 acts of service for 60 years, which the company is running to celebrate 60 years of being involved in the New Zealand business community.
