Smart Manufacturing Solutions Technology Ltd and SMS - Smart Manufacturing Solutions were delighted to host another successful charity football match against Apex Time Critical, raising more than £1,700 for the Bradley Lowery Foundation while bringing together local businesses, employees, supporters, and the wider community for an unforgettable evening.


Smart Manufacturing Solutions Defeats Apex Time Critical in Annual Charity Football Match

Played in challenging high temperatures, both teams delivered an outstanding performance in what has quickly become one of the most anticipated corporate charity football events in the region.


After a competitive and entertaining match, Smart Manufacturing Solutions secured a 3-1 victory over Apex Time Critical, levelling the series after Apex claimed the win in last year's fixture. With one victory each, a trilogy decider is now firmly on the horizon.

The match highlighted not only the competitive spirit between two leading businesses but also the power of sport to support meaningful charitable causes.


Raising Money for the Bradley Lowery Foundation

The biggest achievement of the evening was the incredible fundraising effort.

Thanks to the generosity of players, supporters, sponsors, and everyone who attended, the event raised over £1,700 for the Bradley Lowery Foundation, helping the charity continue its vital work supporting seriously ill children and their families across the UK.


The Bradley Lowery Foundation has become one of the country's most recognised children's charities, providing practical and emotional support to families facing difficult circumstances.

Events such as this demonstrate the strong community values shared by businesses across the UK manufacturing sector, engineering industry, and logistics sector. The charity football match provided an opportunity for colleagues, customers, partners, and supporters to come together, strengthen relationships, and make a positive impact beyond the workplace.
