ICP Networks are getting ready for a Merry CITC Christmas with the help of Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony.

The Ivory Coast forward was on hand to present ICP Networks MD Matt Archer with a bumper Christmas haul too big for even Santa’s sack.

Wilfried handed over a special Christmas Tree, a signed ball, baubles signed by the City players, a Christmas card from the boss Manuel Pellegrini and four Champions Leagues tickets for City clash with Borussia Monchengladbach.

The bumper Christmas haul was the result of an auction designed to raise funds for the City In The Community secured by ICP Networks.

Archer, said: “We are staunch supporters of CITC and everything the Community team do to help so many people across the Greater Manchester area.

“The Christmas Tree Auction is a great way to kick-start Christmas and hopefully makes a small difference to the CITC Foundation.

“It certainly saves the ICP Networks team a trip to the shops and even comes from Manchester City decorated!

“The signed baubles and the Christmas card from the manager top off a wonderful prize and we are delighted to have secured it, we now just have to find a fitting place to showcase the stunning tree.”

ICP Networks have been supporting CITC for two years and have provided the CITC team with two mini buses and a transit van to allow them to take their work around the Manchester area.

CITC invited Matt to City’s new £200 million training base where, after a short tour behind the scenes, he was presented with his prize by striker Bony.
