Huge thanks to the amazing team who went above and beyond to ensure that our special 10th anniversary Lunar New concert was our best one to date. No challenge intimidated them – including transporting the gigantic Chinese drums all the way from London! The artists really appreciated the additional behind-the-scenes care and we were delighted by all the little details incorporated to deliver the wow-factor! I can’t thank them enough!
Shruti DoshiCEO Sports Aid
The team at the University of Birmingham were outstanding and have been a pleasure to work with throughout SportsAid’s planning and delivery of the Team England Futures programme at the Commonwealth Games. We collaborated with several departments and teams and every interaction was helpful, enthusiastic, efficient and effective. We’ve been impressed with the reliability and professionalism of everyone who contributed to the success of Team England Futures, and we couldn’t have done it without them. Thank you. Here’s to a continued vibrant working partnership.
