private client investment managers is delighted to sponsor the
Football vs. Fashion Fight against Cancer event on the evening of

causes and cures of cancer.
Michael Craven, head of the Brewin Dolphin office in Leeds said:
“As well as providing a complete investment management for
private investors and pension funds, our Leeds office is a
charities specialist, so when Yorkshire Cancer Research approached
us to work with them on the ‘Football vs. Fashion’
event we were very keen to get involved. The charity does great
work within the region and we are thrilled to be able to help raise
vital funds for this great cause. Yorkshire Cancer Research is one
of our largest clients here in Leeds and we are proud to support
this significant and worthwhile initiative.”
