Game Nation raised over £750 for the CHIPS Charity hosting its inaugural ‘Game Nation Open’ table tennis competition. Service Engineer and former Togo international Leonard Benissan defeated 25 industry challengers, boosting the company’s total charity contribution close to £60,000.
Game Nation continues to enhance its reputation for creativity staging the first ‘Game Nation Open’ Table Tennis competition, raising in excess of £750 for the CHIPS Charity.
The Game Nation Open, saw the company’s Service Engineer Leonard Benissan (who has represented Togo at the sport), take on all-comers including customers, colleagues and company representatives drawn from the industry supply chain.
Drawing on his international experience Leonard was victorious against each of his 25 opponents with Game Nation Management Accountant Callum Brazier finishing top of the Leader Board, followed by Accounts Assistant Alexandra Ceban with Slots Director Andy Sessions third.
Taking up the story, Andy Sessions said: “As part of our fundraising for CHIPS, I asked my team of Service Engineers what they wanted to do to help what is an outstanding industry charity. Leonard came to me and said he could do something involving table tennis and it went from there.”
Outlining the tremendous support received from the industry, he added: “Everyone was really touched by how our industry colleagues responded.
“We welcomed Harry Hulse and Rhys Hussain from Blueprint Operations, Hans Bierrum and Sue Hatherell from Genesis Games, Freddie Shreeve from Boomerang Digital, Blake Garner representing E-Service and Aman Singh Goraya from our security provider NexGen Protection.
“We also received generous donations from Andrew Ludlow at Boomerang as well as Hans and Sue from Genesis Games. It was a superb day of fun and fundraising which demonstrated the incomparable spirit of generosity that underpins our industry.”
Game Nation CEO Mark Jepp reflected: “Huge thanks to Game Nation team members, customers as well as industry colleagues for really getting behind our fundraising for CHIPS – a charity which is approaching its 800th wheelchair presentation to children with profound mobility issues.
“This is our second year working with CHIPS and the charity is very much part of the Game Nation family. The money raised playing Table Tennis will add to the close to £60,000 that’s already been generated by colleagues and customers. It’s a wonderful achievement that everyone should be extremely proud of.”
