Like the summer season, tournament organisers have committed to donating 10 per cent of all its revenue to charity with the winning team securing a bumper donation for their charity of choice. At the halfway point of the winter season the tournament has already raised £6,118 for various charities across Scotland.
Business Fives boasts some famous ex-players and sporting celebrities as ambassadors including footballer turned businessman and former Aberdeen star, Lee Mair, ex-Aberdeen and Manchester United shot stopper Jim Leighton, Sky Sports pundit Andy Walker along with TV presenter David Tanner.
Tournament founder and Business Fives managing director John McClarey - who also organised a highly-successful inaugural Business Fours golf tournament earlier in the year - says it's a great opportunity for businesses to bond with colleagues outside of the office, get fit and raise money for charity
