- Brown Shipley
Private banking firm Brown Shipley prevailed as winners in the annual JCI Manchester charity football tournament after a 6-2 win over accountancy firm Crowe Clark Whitehill.
The event sponsored by Grill on the Alley helped raise over £1000 for the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
A total of 16 teams including Ralli, CBG Group, TheEword and Pannone took to the Lucozade Powerleague pitches on Tuesday 24th January.
Ralli narrowly missed out on a place in the final after losing on penalties at the semi final stage.
Marketing Director for JCI Manchester, Robert Illidge, commented:
“The event was a huge success and I would like to thank everybody for taking part and our sponsors Grill on the Alley.
It’s always great to see local businesses coming together to raise much needed charity funds especially on a cold, wet, January evening.
We’re always looking for new ways to fundraise and encourage ideas from our members and the public.”
In June 2011 members of JCI Manchester, the personal development organisation for young professionals and entrepreneurs, completed the national 3 Peaks Challenge raising over £6,000 for RMCH.

JCI Manchester will present the Young Talent Awards for 2011 at a glittering Awards Dinner on 8th September 2011 at the Radisson Edwardian Hotel. JCI Manchester will also use the evening to raise much needed funds for its nominated charity; the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital which will complement the £6,500 raised by JCI Manchester members completing the ‘3 Peaks Challenge’ earlier this year.
The ceremony will highlight each winner’s career so far and provide a stage from which the winners can challenge and inspire young people in Manchester.

Awards organiser and Director of JCI Manchester, Leena Savjani commented on the importance of recognising Manchester’s young talent:
“Being an established hub for entrepreneurs and professional service companies, Manchester continues to attract the best young people. The Manchester Young Talent Awards will not only recognise those young professionals excelling in their respected fields early in their career, but will also reaffirm that the city provides an excellent foundation for successful organisations and ambitious people to be based.”
