Brown Shipley triumphs at HURST football tournament

A team from private banking and wealth management firm Brown Shipley took the top honours at HURST’s annual charity five-a-side football tournament.

Brown Shipley beat a team from corporate recovery and insolvency specialists Leonard Curtis 3-1 in the final.

The tournament raised £2,137 for Francis House Children’s Hospice in south Manchester, which is accounting and business advisory firm HURST’s charity of the year.

A total of 17 teams took part in the competition, which was held at the Manchester Tennis and Football Centre at the city’s Etihad Campus.

The event attracted teams from a variety of professional services and business sectors, including law, financial services, banking, logistics and architecture.

It was organised by HURST’s Ryan Niblock, who said: “As well as raising money for a worthy cause, the event provided an excellent networking opportunity for professionals and businesspeople from across the region.”

The football tournament was one of several events organised by HURST in aid of Francis House this year. Other activities have included entering teams in the 10km Great Manchester Run, the South Manchester Triathlon, Tough Mudder North West and the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge.
