Silverstone Leasing goes for goal number four

SILVERSTONE Leasing’s popular charity raiser – its annual five-a-side football tournament – will be taking place this summer.

This the fourth time the Northampton-based leasing broker has held the event, and has so far raised in excess of £5,000 for its nominated charity Cynthia Spencer Hospice.

Silverstone Soccer 2023 will see businesses from across Northamptonshire don their football boots to compete at the event on Sunday 02 July at Daventry Town Football Club. Kick off is at 10.15am.

Up to 16 teams will compete for the much-coveted winner’s title, which last year went to Euro Building and Maintenance Contractors. Ox Seven Talent Partners was named as runner up.

Silverstone Leasing’s sales manager Ryan Bishop thought up the first popular fundraiser before the pandemic in 2020.

The self-confessed football fanatic decided to use his local business contacts and love of football to raise much needed funds for the hospice.

“I’m proud to say that Silverstone Soccer is now a popular event on the local business calendar and it is fantastic to deliver a family friendly fun day which also raises cash for a brilliant cause.

“We are delighted to be able to continue our support for Cynthia Spencer Hospice. We have seen first-hand the incredible work they do for local families when they need help the most. 

“Cynthia Spencer has been our chosen charity for a number of years and is close to all our hearts. Some of the Silverstone team have had family members and friends who have been looked after by the hospice and we want to give back to this incredible local charity.

“If you’re a football fan, this is the fundraiser for you! If you’re not, come and cheer everyone on and have some fun! Sign up today to get one of the limited team spots.”
