Redwood Bank achieves final goal in football event
A specialist bank has proved to be a winner on the football pitch as well as in the business arena after securing a final spot in a national football competition.
Letchworth-based Redwood Bank, which reported its first profit earlier this year, is celebrating after its five-a-side team scored a success. Last year, the side was knocked out in the Business Fives Champions League semi-finals in Leicester but came bouncing back this season to secure a spot in the National Final after a round-robin event in London.
Unfortunately, they were pipped to the London title by PGIM Investments who beat them 3-2.
Graham Reynolds, Redwood Bank’s Director of ESG, said: “Our team have done an amazing job of reaching the National Final. In the qualifying round in London, they even beat one team 11-1.
“They are showing the same skills on the pitch that we expect from everyone at Redwood Bank… determination, professionalism, commitment and passion.”
The national Business Fives brings together companies in a novel networking setting and helps raise money for charity at the same time. To date, £380,000 has been raised for UK organisations.
The Bank will now compete against 14 other qualifiers with a donation to its charity of the year, PoetsIN up for grabs.
Graham said: “Activities like Business Fives are so important for the Bank to help demonstrate our commitment to the community. The event provides a great opportunity for us to meet other business professionals, support local and national events but it also means that our Charity of the year receives a boost.
“We will be encouraging the Redwood Bank family to get behind the players when they represent us in October’s finals.”
