Rugby Hospitality Offers Unique, Business- and Relationship-Building Opportunities

    CHICAGO, IL, December 23, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- On the heels of successful client hospitality during the recently completed Rugby Autumn Internationals, THG Sports is fielding strong interest from C-level executives for hospitality during some of the sport's top events, including the Six Nations Rugby events in Europe, and the 2011 Rugby World Championship in Auckland, New Zealand, says THG Sports CEO Jon Stromberg.

"The hospitality experience THG Sports provides during rugby events is unmatched," Stromberg says. "Our two-decade track record of providing best-in-class hospitality translates to an unforgettable experience and unprecedented opportunity for our clients to build relationships and business opportunities with their clients and customers."

At the Autumn Internationals, held last month in France and England, THG clients enjoyed exclusive hospitality packages that included gourmet food and drinks and an "insider's view" of match play and the sport from rugby legends, such as Jason Leonard, Lee Mears, Philippe Saint-Andre and Jonah Lumo.

"We tailor all of our hospitality offerings to match the world-class atmosphere and expectations of our clients and their guests," Stromberg says. "We're already seeing interest growing in what promises to be a strong rugby forward event calendar."

In February, THG Sports will provide premier hospitality and world-class speakers during the 2010 Six Nations events in England, France, Scotland and Italy. In March, THG will be providing hospitality during the Six Nations match-up in Ireland. In 2010, THG will be providing exclusive hospitality during group games that lead up to the 2011 Rugby World Championship in New Zealand.

"The next 18 months offer a wealth of rugby hospitality opportunities for C-level executives with business interests across Europe and New Zealand," Stromberg says. "We look forward to providing our clients with the best staff, facilities and experience to achieve maximum ROI from their hospitality investments with us."
