Construction firms team up for charity football tournament

The Atletico Trimble team

A group of construction firms recently teamed up for a five-a-side charity football tournament in aid of The Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity.

Organised by Bellway Homes Ltd (Scotland West), nine teams took part in the first football tournament held at Hamilton Fives, raising £2,842.

Advance Construction’s Atletico Trimble team came out top, beating Jordan Electrics in the final and were presented with a trophy, a case of beers, and a gift voucher for Top Golf Glasgow.

The money was raised from team entry fees and a raffle, while a number of stall holders, including the charity, were also on hand.

Organiser Marc Carty of Bellway Homes Ltd (Scotland West), said, “I am so impressed with the turnout on the day. Everyone had an amazing time playing and we could not be prouder to raise such a fantastic amount for a really important charity.”

The companies that took part included Jordan Electrics, Tough Construction, Scotia Windows, and Hillhouse Precast.
