“As a proud ambassador of this amazing cause and having met many of the families of sick and injured kids staying there,” Marsh told Confidential.

“I know for a fact the money raised from this brilliant day will have such an enormous impact on so many going through the hardest times imaginable.

“Having been a broker in the early 90s I know how hard these guys work. I really enjoyed getting back on the floor and completing some trades with Harry Garside.”
