What does Pennine mean?

The Pennines, also known as the Pennine Chain or Pennine Hills, are a range of mountains and hills in England. It is a dividing range between Yorkshire and Lancashire in the North of England.

The name was chosen to represent the challenges we may face daily as we all strive to realise our dreams.

Michael and Sarah, the company’s founders, have a personal connection to the name because it is Michael’s place of birth and appears in many of Sarah’s favourite novels.
