A Summer of Sport at Workman-managed Birmingham Business Park – in aid of its charity partner Birmingham Hospice – saw records broken and personal bests smashed in the space-hopper race, duck-blowing, axe-throwing and egg-and-spoon race, among a whole host of other fun sports and challenges.
Across four days during June, July and August, BBP occupier teams enjoyed lakeside fun and games with food, music and those all-important medal ceremonies.
The events were designed to bring occupiers’ employees together, creating a sense of collectiveness and building occupier community, while also raising much-needed funds for Birmingham Hospice.
The team from Birmingham Hospice also attended each day, sharing information on what they do, and raising funds. They were joined by Solihull Chamber of Commerce, Escape Hunt UK, Costco, and Tropic Skincare. Music was provided by Chaos and Sounds of Steel, while delicious food came from Mature Toasties, Currywurst, and Leave it to Esmie.
Workman’s Lori Henebury, Marketing, Community, and Business Development Manager at Birmingham Business Park, said: “I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the occupier businesses that participated in the BBP Summer of Sport. Your enthusiasm and team spirit truly made the event a success, and it was inspiring to see our community come together in such a fun and engaging way.”
“We hope you enjoyed the days as much as we did – and we look forward to more opportunities to build our community, camaraderie and celebrate our collective achievements. Thank you for making this event truly memorable.”
Luke Manley, Corporate Fundraising Manager at Birmingham Hospice, said: “The Birmingham Business Park games has been a highlight of the summer, bringing everyone together for a fun-filled season of sport, camaraderie, and charity. It was heart-warming to see so many people get involved and support Birmingham Hospice.
“The duck-blowing game was a crowd favourite, and we can’t thank our sponsors, Ward Security, Astrum Commercial Cleaners, and Nurture Landscapes, enough for their solid support. Their commitment ensures that our hospice teams can continue making every moment matter for our terminally ill patients and their loved ones.”
