Companies will now be able to take inspiration from the iconic “Home of Cricket” back into the work-place, after it was announced that Lord’s Cricket Ground will offer corporate team building events in 2012.
Following a thorough selection process, four suppliers – Chillisauce, Accomplished Events, Blue Hat, and ESC Events – have been appointed as the official team building specialists for events at Lord’s.
The extensive range of venues and facilities within the world-famous cricket ground will provide a unique setting for the delivery of the wide variety of team building packages offered by the four suppliers. In particular, access to the newly refurbished MCC Cricket Academy will allow companies to enjoy indoor cricket net sessions in a world-class training environment, as used by international players such as Andrew Strauss, Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne.
Nick Kenton, Meetings & Events Sales Manager at Lord’s, said: “Lord’s Cricket Ground is one of the most iconic venues in sport, and over the years some of the best teams in the world have played on the hallowed turf. The Ground therefore provides an ideal venue for team building events, combining an inspiring history alongside access to world-class facilities. I am delighted with the four new suppliers that have been appointed to help us take team building to the forefront of our business in 2012.”
Matt Curran, Business Development Manager at Chillisauce, said: “Chillisauce is thrilled to have the opportunity to work with such an esteemed organisation. We’re very much looking forward to engaging our expertise, energy and enthusiasm so that between us we can offer clients events of a quality and nature that befit such a globally renowned setting.”
Jenny Pink and Nadia Brown, Directors at Accomplished Events, said: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with such an iconic London venue, made even more special by its prominence in the Olympics this year. Lord’s Cricket Ground is perfect for so many of our team building products due to the number of unique spaces to suit a whole range of client needs.”
Steve Perkins, Head of Marketing at Blue Hat, said: “Working in partnership with Lord’s, Blue Hat UK is able to offer one of the biggest selections of team building events in the world. With over 100 products, many award winning, we can advise on the perfect indoor, outdoor or evening event. Our knowledge and experience of the venue and its amazing facilities allow us to match the right event to your group and objective, be it a Crystal Maze challenge or our amazing Italian Job!”
