“The financial services community is known for its generosity and it was great to see so many companies represented in the tournament, for a fantastic cause - and a great day to bring the industry closer together.

“I’d like to thank our sponsors Precise Mortgages and Positive Lending, and congratulate the worthy winners of the FS Cup, Skipton Building Society.”
