Ian Mattioli MBE DL Hon LLD, co-founder of the Ian & Clare Mattioli Charitable Trust, said, “As a Leicester-based charitable trust, and having built Mattioli Woods from this city into a company with over 1,000 employees and looking after 16 billion pounds worth of other families investments, we’re proud to support the Hope Against Cancer Business Club.
“Cancer is something that affects far too many of us including me and my family, and we believe that the business community has a vital role to play — not just in funding research, but in raising awareness and building connections that accelerate impact. The Business Club brings people together around a cause that touches every life, and we’re pleased to stand alongside others committed to making a real difference.”
Nigel Rose, CEO at Hope Against Cancer said, “Hope Against Cancer is honoured and proud that one of Leicester’s leading business figures has chosen to partner with the Hope Business Club. Ian and his company have been loyal supporters of our Charity on its journey to providing world-class cancer research right here in the city of Leicester. The work of the Ian & Clare Mattioli Charitable Trust exemplifies the very best of philanthropy where businesses are prepared to really invest in the communities within which they work”.
This partnership represents a powerful collaboration aimed at making a tangible impact in the fight against cancer. Through joint branding, strategic events, and community engagement we will raise awareness and endeavour to inspire action within the business community.
