Events
Our Events Team creates, manages and delivers major sporting events and we pride ourselves on their delivery.
We work across a number of major events that are staged to meet objectives of host cities, National Governing Bodies of sport, partners who fund and sponsor the events. These events are often created to maximise untapped sporting opportunities.
Annually we stage the following events with key partners including UK Athletics, British Paralympic Association, Youth Sport Trust and British University Sports Association:
> UK Athletics - 7 televised events at indoor and outdoor venues throughout the UK
> Paralympic World Cup - 4 sports featuring 350 athletes from 45 countries
> UK School Games - 4 day multi sport, multi venue competition which in 2007 featured 8 sports with over 1300 athletes
> In 2008 we will stage the inaugural British University Championships which will feature 20 university sports over one weekend throughout venues in Sheffield
Key partners that we work with include the BBC, Channel 4, SKY, International television broadcasters, local authorities throughout the UK, development agencies, Governing Bodies of sport and funding partners such as UK Sport.
