Brewin’s top of the league at Chelsea
CITY investment management firm Brewin Dolphin’s garden at the Chelsea Flower Show has won a gold medal for being the best in the show, which is great news for those participating in the firm’s online charity auction.
The auction, which will raise funds to help the fight against leukaemia, includes a prize that gives the winner a private garden consultation with Brewin Dolphin’s Chelsea Flower Show designer, Cleve West. His winning design has been described as “formal and timeless, contemporary yet traditional”.
There’s also a training day with the Olympic athlete Sonia O’Sullivan for avid athletes.
The auction is part of a push by Brewin Dolphin that involves sponsoring fifteen riders cycling from London to Paris in three days to raise more than £120,000.
The riders will be led by Geoff Thomas, an ex-Crystal Palace and England player who was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia in 2003 and has now dedicated his life to raising money for the treatments.
The project raises funds to help give patients access to new treatments of leukaemia and lymphoma and improve their chances of survival.
The auction, accessed online at brewin.co.uk/auction, will be open until 6.45pm on 13 June.
Cleve said he was delighted to be part of Brewin Dolphin’s 250th anniversary.
AFTER weeks of intense interest, Holly Brook from Pitch PR has been named as the female champion for this year’s Aviva Trophy Lift Challenge.
Ms Brook managed to hold up the trophy for an impressive one minute and seven seconds to declared the winner.
