There are an array of sporting events to take your clients to in the summer ranging from the Men’s Final at Wimbledon to watching the rowing at Henley.
There is no “best” event as it is all down to the individual and their preference, some people might find a day watching cricket at Lords enthralling whilst to others it would be the most boring day of their summer.
Please see below a list of some of the major events taking place this summer with the factors to take into consideration.
The Wimbledon tennis championships is the biggest tennis tournament in the world and takes place each year at the end of June / beginning of July.
It is one of the most popular corporate events during the year and we often get asked when is the best day to take clients to Wimbledon. In order to make your decision easier we have listed a couple of points below to take into consideration.
The NFL returns to London this year with three games, two at Wembley and one at Twickenham. The first game is at Wembley between the Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars on 2nd October, then on the 23rd New York Giants take on Los Angeles Rams at Twickenham Stadium and then on 30th October the Washington Redskins take on the Cincinnati Bengals.
When people think of corporate hospitality the first events that tend to come to people’s minds are Six Nations rugby, Wimbledon and the cricket. All of which are great events to entertain your clients but are companies missing a trick by not considering music based events as a form of corporate hospitality?
It’s only the eighth of January but already we have the first big manager casualty of 2016 with Rafa Benitez getting sacked from Real Madrid. He lasted a mere six months and they only lost three times and had a plus forty seven goal difference in the games he managed! Former Real Madrid Galactico Zenedine Zidane, has been appointed their new manager, he was previously coaching their B team.
The Rocket Team had a great weekend in Monaco a couple of weeks ago although we were working, well most of the time! The race was won by Nico Rosberg after a pit strategy back fired on Lewis Hamilton which left him finishing in third place behind Nico and Sebastian Vettel.
Lewis Hamilton has had another good start to the season and is already the clear favourite to retain the World Championship in 2015.
He won the Chinese Grand Prix today which has extended his Championship lead to thirteen points over his Mercedes team mate Vettel, with Rosberg in third place.
With the Grand National happening in a couple of weeks we thought this week’s blog would be about this horse racing festival.
The festival takes place every year at Aintree racecourse in Liverpool and the Grand National is the biggest National Hunt horse race in the world.
The Cheltenham Festival is less than a month away now and we at Rocket Hospitality are hoping for a more successful festival than last year where we had a combined total of two winners during the festival.
London Fashion Week runs twice a year, usually in February and September, and brings together the biggest designers in the world who all showcase their forthcoming season’s designs. It is one of the big four fashion weeks with the other three held in New York, Paris and Milan.
