Sportsworld launches new website

Sportsworld has taken the wraps off its new website (www.sportsworld.co.uk), which cements the company’s position as a leading player in the event services market in the lead-up to London 2012.

Sportsworld holds a dominant position in the hospitality and event sector thanks to its unmatched ability to deliver across-the-board solutions to sponsors, brands, rights holders and key event stakeholders. Over the past 30 years it has developed expertise in areas including ‘Sponsor Services’, ‘Event Consultancy’, ‘DMC Services’ and ‘Event Logistics’. Now, for the first time, all of these products can be browsed together, at the revamped www.sportsworld.co.uk website.

Key highlights of the enhanced site include simpler navigation for the user, more detailed package information including photo galleries, up-to-date prices and availability – as well as the launch of Sportsworld’s new, contemporary brand identity.

Sportsworld’s new website marks a quantum leap in searching for B2B hospitality online. Uniquely, it is a one-stop-shop for companies looking to fill their event calendar across the widest variety of official sporting, cultural and bespoke hospitality occasions. A multitude of sporting events are available and include rugby at Twickenham, the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa™, The Wimbledon Championships and the Summer and Winter Olympic Games.

Sportsworld’s website goes further than just delivering hospitality and entertainment solutions to the corporate market. Chad Lion-Cachet, Sportsworld’s Chief Executive, explains: “There has been a step change in the corporate hospitality industry in the last three years. ROI is now key to justifying spend – it’s no longer enough to throw a great party; clients want a business outcome for their buck, too. We understand this and work with our clients to deliver bespoke brand experiences at carefully selected events, as opposed to traditional ‘old school’ hospitality. Does this approach work? The feedback from our clients, showcased on the website, emphatically says that it does.”

Paul Hill, Technology Director at Sportsworld, is thrilled to see the new website live. “This is the start of our new approach to online marketing,” he says. “We are sure that it will help us to drive new leads and new business in the run up to London 2012. We are convinced that by streamlining our customer interface we will both deliver value to our clients and pave the way towards significant growth for ourselves as a company – and we’re delighted that our brand's online image now reflects the quality of experience that is synonymous with Sportsworld”.
