Our Company

We are currently looking to bring on a number of high calibre graduates to join our incredibly successful central London Sales team. Over the past 18 months this team has surpassed all targets and has grown by over 250%. As the UK's Premier Sports Hospitality Package seller, we sell internationally to a wide variety of clients. The packages we offer are individually tailored to our clients' needs and range from one off visits to world-famous sporting events (such as the UEFA Champions League Final, The Rugby World Cup Final & the Super Bowl) to bespoke tours for events such as the Rio Olympics 2016, the 2016 UEFA European Championships & The Ashes.

The successful applicants will join our thorough 16 week training academy aimed at educating you in the entire sales process. This academy covers all elements of the sales cycle including cold-calling, bringing on new business and managing pre-existing key clients. This academy includes sales psychology seminars designed at highlighting the theory behind sales. The role in the first 12 months is largely based around you building your own client base and as such cold-calling is an important aspect of the role that we don't wish to hide. We pride ourselves on our fun and supportive office environment where all of our staff socialise together most weeks in company funded nights out!
