Rugger

Ooooh. Just received a company announcement from our Managing Director entitled Sodexo wins Rugby World Cup bids for 2015 and 2019!!!! (Exclamation marks my own).

I confess I do not always pay due attention to the company announcements. Items like Sodexo achieves SAFE contractor accreditation, whilst fantastic, do not really float my boat. BUT! Prestige have been awarded the prestigious contract for the full, official travel and hospitality programmes for the next two Rugby World Cup tournaments, the first in England in 2015, and the following competition in Japan in 2019.

I LOVE rugby (players) and I am so pleased to have another event to offer my clients. This is a massive win for Rugby Travel & Hospitality Ltd (RTH), the name of our joint venture company, and extends our highly successful partnership with Rugby World Cup Ltd, who has awarded us the contract. This has been largely down to our successful delivery of the award-winning official travel and hospitality programmes for Rugby World Cup 2007 in France, achieving record sales figures.

Having spent most of the summer watching cricket, I guess I will need start brushing up on my rugby lingo. Coming from someone who is still referring to wicket keeping as 'wicketing', and asking when everyone will be coming off the 'pitch' - its safe to say my rugby knowledge is even less impressive. Any rugby enthusiasts out there who can help???
