  • Jan Souness - Assistant Director, Neighbourhood and Cultural Services, Warrington Borough Council.

Join us for breakfast in January to hear about how your business could benefit from the major cultural events coming up in 2012 and 2013.

Warrington is set to play a full part in the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, creating lasting sporting, social and economic benefits in the region. With the Orford Park Project opening in early 2012 and the Olympic Torch visiting this legacy site in May there are already local benefits arising, but there will be several wider business opportunities associated with London 2012 to take advantage of.

The news that Warrington has been awarded host town status for the 2013 Rugby League World Cup is also a major coup. Warrington will not only host a group match and quarter-final but will also host a team base-camp and be the site of a team training venue. This presents a unique opportunity for hospitality, tourism, leisure and retail businesses to showcase the best of Warrington and increase their sales by providing a warm welcome and impeccable service to visitors to the town.

This event will be your chance to hear about the wider business opportunities associated with these and other major events taking place across the region.

If you would like to book onto either of these events please contact us on 0845 849 0020 or training@thewbs.co.uk.  Alternatively you can register online, by clicking here
