NorthEdge goes in to bat for charity

PRIVATE Equity firm NorthEdge Capital is going in to bat for the Children In Need Charity.

It has organised a six-a-side cricket tournament at Ashley Cricket Club, near Hale, on June 12.

Six financial or professional firms will be taking part with Montagu Private Equity, Clearwater Corporate Finance, PwC, KMPG and law firm DWF joining NorthEdge in “padding up for Pudsey.”

There will be a barbecue lunch and a cash bar will be open throughout the day, along with a prize raffle draw. The five over matches will be supplemented by cricket-themed games. Entry to the event is free.

Grant Berry, managing partner at NorthEdge Capital, said: “Children in Need is an excellent charity that does outstanding work nationally and more locally within the North West, and we are delighted to be able to assist its efforts.

“We are also very grateful that such high profile, national businesses have agreed to support this event so generously and we hope that the local community will be able to come along and attend too.”
