Nina Gandy, corporate partnerships fundraiser at Cynthia Spencer Hospice said: “We were so pleased to have so many teams take part in this year’s event to celebrate the hospice’s 45th birthday! It was great to see lots of new businesses join in the competition too and enjoy networking with other local firms while supporting our wonderful hospice.
