CHAIRMAN'S CHALLENGE
Our Chairman, Compton Hellyer, used to be Chairman of Sporting Index and he has always liked a flutter. We have set up The Chairman's Challenge to predict the highlights of the year ahead.
It’s free to enter, hopefully fun to do and the winner gets a case of champagne with bottles of champagne going to those placed 2nd and 3rd. This year we will also pledge £5 to the firm’s nominated charity for each entry we receive.
