A company commitment since inception is to donate 10 per cent of revenue to charitable causes throughout Scotland, with the national business five-a-side tournament now entering its third full season.

This summer's Business Fives will be "bringing a twist" to the events providing more networking opportunities, organisers added.

The tournament is supported by a host of ambassadors that include Hibernian and Scotland legend Pat Stanton and Hearts and Scotland legend Gary Mackay.
