Adrian Barraclough, Quickslide’s Chairman and GM Fundraising team member explains: “The GM Football Fives has been created as a step away from the usual corporate day, providing an excellent opportunity for companies to put a team together with people from any area of the business. Fitters will play alongside Chief Executives in a national competition that’s all about the UK’s national sport. Teams are even welcome to ask customers and suppliers to join in the fun.
“Those who feel more comfortable in the stands than on the pitch can also get involved and we will be announcing some exciting sponsorship opportunities very soon, so watch this space. As with all GM Fundraising events, the most important thing is to raise money for a fantastic cause by doing something that people will enjoy. We believe the GM Football Fives will become a date not to be missed in people’s diaries every year, as everything is set for a truly fantastic day.”
