Icap to host 30th annual Charity Day: Trading business has raised more than £155m for good causes since 1993
Icap will today host its 30th annual Charity Day for good causes.
Every year, the trading business holds a day when 100 per cent of its revenues and brokers’ commissions are donated to charities.
Since it began in 1993, Icap’s charity day has raised more than £155million for around 1,700 charities.
Dealmakers: Patrons such as England football manager Gareth Southgate and model Jodie Kidd (pictured with Southgate) have joined icap brokers
Patrons such as the Prince of Wales, England football manager Gareth Southgate and model Jodie Kidd have joined Icap’s brokers to close deals with clients.
This year’s celebrities include TV personalities Ant and Dec on behalf of The Prince’s Trust, presenter Gaby Roslin for Alzheimer’s Research UK, comedian Keith Lemon representing Shooting Star Children’s Hospices, and boxer David Haye on behalf of Prostate Cancer UK.
Broker Will Ferguson said: ‘You do get some funny looks when you go in on charity day dressed in a dirndl – it’s not a good look on a middle-aged man like me – but it’s definitely worth it when you see the difference the day makes.’
