BACK TO ALL NEWS AND INSIGHTS

On Friday, 20 June 2025, Mackinnons Solicitors proudly fielded their first-ever football team to take part in the Aberdeen Corporate Business Fives event — a unique blend of friendly competition and charitable fundraising that brings together companies from across the region.
The Business Fives tournament, well known across the UK for its energetic five-a-side matches, offers businesses the chance to team-build, network, and give back to the community through sport. Each participating team competes not only for glory on the pitch but also to raise money for their chosen charities, making a real impact far beyond the final whistle.
This year, Mackinnons Solicitors were delighted to take part in the event, with a committed team of seven solicitors representing the firm for the first time. The team competed with spirit, camaraderie, and determination throughout the day – and our efforts paid off. Mackinnons emerged as Europa Conference League winners defeating Marine Technical Limits 4-2 in the final with goals from Alan Simpson (2) and Cameron Milne (2) and a sterling goalkeeping performance from Angus Easton, earning a well-deserved trophy and a £100 bonus charity donation as part of the event’s prize pool. As winners of the Europa Conference League the team earned themselves an invitation to the Scottish National Finals taking place in October with winners from across Scotland competing to be crowned national champions.
As part of our involvement, we chose to raise funds for The Fishermen’s Mission, a cause deeply aligned with the firms long-standing connection to Scotland’s marine and fishing industries. The Fishermen’s Mission provides vital welfare and emergency support to fishermen and their families across the UK, offering assistance with everything from injury recovery and financial hardship to mental health support and bereavement care.
Congratulations to all teams who took part, and a special thank you to Business Fives for organising a fantastic event.
