Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean lent a helping hand when the association for business recovery professionals, R3 raised £4,000 for the British Thyroid Foundation during its annual North West ladies lunch.

Over 300 people from firms including Cobbetts, Begbies Traynor, Ernst & Young, Addleshaw Goddard, Shoosmiths, Hills Dickinson, KPMG, PwC, Howes Percival and JMW Solicitors attended the Caribbean themed event, which was held at The Lowry hotel.

A three-course meal was followed by limbo dancing competition, auction and raffle.

Eleanor Temple, a barrister with Kings Chambers in Manchester and founder and chairman of the R3 North West Women in Business Recovery Group said the event, which was in its fourth year, had become more and more popular over the years.

She said: “The lunch is a good chance for everyone to get together, network, have fun but also raise money for charity.”
