With the English public back in love with Rugby, how can businesspeople leverage the excitement?  

With English Rugby flying high, Twickenham stadium is awash with positivity. As businesspeople, how can we capitalise on this success?

Well, have you considered using the venue to host a hospitality event to wow your clients and impressive your prospects?

Whatever the claims, it can’t be denied that money is imperative to every business’ goals. Of course, there are other goals; a great culture, being ethical and enjoyment; to name a few – but central to this mix is the bottom line. But making money is tough. Selling is invasive, hard work and, at times, unforgiving.

But is there a way of combining sales with pleasure?

We passionately believe there is. More specifically, we also believe that the luxury St Georges Suite at Twickenham, the home of English Rugby, is one of the best environments to do so. And this is why…

1. We all love Rugby again

English Rugby is on the up; unbeaten since coach Eddy Jones took over after the difficulties of the 2015 World Cup it is fair to say there is a positive buzz around Twickenham. Who would have thought that on the 3rd of October 2015, moments after England went down to their heaviest defeat to Australia ever at Twickenham, and were dumped out of their own World Cup?

2. Exquisite food

We are not sure if there is a more suitable word than “exquisite” – but it’s as close as we are going to get. Available throughout selected dates during 2017 Michelin star chef, Jason Atherton, will be providing a four-course menu. Jason Atherton truly goes the extra mile; he designs his own dishes and goes around after and chats to guest. Want to know how he created that dreamy sauce? Just ask.

3. Hear from the pros

What happens on tour stays on tour…

We’ve all heard the catchphrase. Challenge ex pros to this and hear rugby tales from days before. All packages include eventful Q&A’s with ex professionals, which in the past have included Matt Dawson, Will Carling, David Campese and Sir Gareth Edward.

Further, there is also an opportunity for photographs and autographs. Surely the perfect atmosphere to enjoy client company and be open to new business.

4. Best seats in the house

Aside from getting down to business, there is also a game to enjoy and hospitality in the St Georges Suite offers the very best. Every guest receives a ticket in the highly desirable West Stand – the perfect view to watch the action unfold.

5. Flexibility

Often, when you think of corporate hospitality you think about having to pull together a large group to make the investment worthwhile. Or, even worse, having to invite people to make the numbers. The St Georges Suite offers flexible numbers; whether that be; 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12. No need for head scratching over invites – get those along you want.

With this in mind, make your next corporate hospitality event at Twickenham in the St Georges Suite to watch England in the Six Nations.
