CLUB EVENTS

The Commercial Department here at the Club is about more than just a matchdays.

Of course football hospitality packages are a massive part of what we do, but our outside events offer businesses and supporters alike the chance to get involved in some brilliant days out with clients, potential new contacts, directors, management and First Team players over the course of the season.

During the 2018/19 campaign we held our annual Golf trip to Puerto Banu near Marbella, where we took 100 of our corporate clients to La Quinta Golf and Spa Resort on fantastic three day trip. Numerous key decision makers from local and national business including some of our principal partners enjoyed not only getting involved with the golf but making solid relationships that will last forever.

In addition, our annual end of season Player Awards dinner, held at the ICC in Birmingham was a great success with over 1,200 people in attendance. This was the first year we had celebrated and recognised the achievements of both our men’s and women’s teams together. We had numerous clients seize the opportunity to market their business 1by sponsoring and presenting awards to the winning players. At the event we collectively raised £22,000, split between our two club charities; The Geoff Horsfield foundation and Birmingham Women’s Aid.

Other successes throughout the 2018/19 season included a ‘Meet the Manager’ night, a Cheltenham Preview Night, and many Blues Network Business Club events ranging from a quarterly breakfast meetings to quirky social offsite events across the city.

Never underestimate the networking opportunities for your business at these huge events. Each one brings together key business personnel from a range of sectors throughout the city and further afield.
