Corporate Social Responsibility
At Killik Asset Management we take Corporate Social Responsibility very seriously. Please see below for some of the recent activities and charities Killik Asset Management has been involved in.
Killik & Co were the proud associate match sponsors of the Barbarians vs. South Africa Mastercard Trophy which took place on Saturday 4th December 2010 at Twickenham Stadium. The Barbarians' notched up their fourth victory in seven fixtures against South Africa, built on a magnificent opening quarter of attacking rugby and a fine defensive effort in the second half. At 26-10 with the clock ticking away the game was effectively won. Late consolation tries by Bakkies Botha and Bandise Maku failed to stop the Barbarians and their well-deserved celebrations at the final whistle.
The Cure Parkinson’s Trust is a patient led charity that funds research which will have an impact on the lives of people with Parkinson’s, with the hope of an eventual cure for the condition. The Trust was founded in 2005 and its fundraising arm is called ‘Movers and Shakers’ a name adopted by the co – founders. We are very pleased to support this worthy cause by hosting the Annual Reception for Friends and Key Supporters in late November.
