ALMOST £2,000 was raised for Dr Kershaw's Hospice at a business quiz hosted by the Oldham branch of Handelsbanken.

Handelsbanken hosted the event to mark the first anniversary of the opening of its Salmon Fields Business Village branch.

A team representing Nolan Redshaw Chartered Surveyors won the inaugural professionals quiz which Handeslbanken hopes to hold annually.

Mr Parkinson said: "Twenty teams attended the fun night held at Oldham St Anne's Rugby Club in Royton. All proceeds from the tickets, a raffle and silent auction went to Dr Kershaw's Hospice.

"We were absolutely delighted by the support that the event received from the professional community, with over £1,800 raised for the hospice. We have also had great feedback on how enjoyable the night was and look forward to doing it all again next year."
