The East Midlands financial services community gathered for their annual Investment Dinner in Nottingham last week, raising over £700 for nominated charity Shelter Box through their 'Unit Trust' competition.

Over 100 investment advisers and industry professionals attended the event at the Park Plaza Hotel, a fantastic turnout, as Paul Pugh of title sponsor Cazenove Capital Management commented:

 "After the horrendous snow at the beginning of December and the event having to be postponed, everybody was keen to start the year on a high and I believe that was accomplished at the East Midlands Investment Dinner. It is great to be a part of this annual event which is now in its 6th year."

Event organiser, Toby Reid, of Morland Brook said: "The fact that the dinner is in its sixth year means that there is now an established event for the region and that is down to the ongoing support of our sponsors. 

"We are delighted with the level of interest we continue to attract and are especially proud that we managed to raise such a good sum for our chosen charity, Shelter Box." 

Shelter Box responds instantly to natural and manmade disasters by delivering boxes of aid to those who are most in need. The other lead sponsors for the evening were investment managers Nottingham based T Bailey and Sarasin & Partners.
