Pannone has been crowned the champion of Mencap's first Corporate Ski Challenge, which took place on Thursday 12th February here at Chill Factore.
Facing stiff competition from 15 teams, the Manchester-based law firm glided effortlessly down the slopes brushing aside a flurry of opponents from the regional business community, including Aston Ventures, Coutts, Hammonds, Grant Thornton and Roland Dransfield PR.
A special mention goes out to Galaxy FM's Rachel Burke-Davies for dramatic tumbles against Pannone and XFM.
The fantastic event raised £10,000 for Mencap, and was sponsored by Yorkshire Bank's Corporate and Structured Finance team.
Gayle Derrick, head of fundraising in the north, said:
"It was a really fun evening and it's so exciting to see that this new event was such a success."
Richard Kennerley, divisional director for Yorkshire Bank's Corporate and Structured Finance, said: "We are pleased to have supported the launch of this new and memorable event, which has helped to uncover some of the top skiing talent from the North West's business community. We hope it will become an annual fixture in the corporate calendar."
