Richard Ainscough, Group CEO & Chairman for Network Space, commented: “Variety continues to make a real, positive difference to the lives of so many the children in the communities it serves, it is an honour to be able to be involved in an event that supports their fantastic work”. 

Paul Reeves, Managing Director for Kroll, commented: “To be involved in an event that not only recognises the immense talent that exists within the Northern property scene, but more importantly helps the disadvantaged children of our region, is something that I could not miss out on supporting.”
