Property brands punching above their weight

East London based The Wickers Charity, recently brought together some of the biggest names in the property industry, at a Great Gatsby themed black-tie event, to raise money for the Wickers’ cause – reducing gang related crime and supporting the East London youth.

The event, which was sponsored by London property developer Aitch Group, was held in the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms and saw a line-up of white-collar boxing matches alongside live and silent auctions. The raised funds, after costs, were in excess of £145,000.

In attendance were SkySports Boxing Presenter, Johnny Nelson, as well as famous TOWIE resident James ‘Arg’ Argent, who performed as well as put himself up for auction.

Six boxing matches took place between notable property industry names such as Henry Smith, CEO of Aitch Group and Founder of The Wickers Charity, James Feltham, Senior BTR Lettings Negotiator at CBRE and Director of New Homes at Kingsbury Stone, Graeme Grossman, alongside boxing names such as Emmanuel Blessed and Justin Benn.

Henry Smith, Founder of The Wickers Charity and CEO at Aitch Group, said: “The Wickers Charity aids a cause that I am personally extremely passionate about. Having lost my brother-in-law to knife crime, I have set out to try and positively impact the lives of the children in East London with the hope of reducing knife crime in the borough and the capital. We are so thankful for our industry community, friends and family for coming together to raise much needed money for a cause that we are so passionate about.”
