A few of us from Hampshire FA at the Hampshire Business Show this year 👇 We came with 3 clearly defined 🥅 and what we wanted to achieve: 1. Awareness and visibility of our association. 2. Connect with different businesses & individuals. 3. Highlight the commercial opportunities & potential of partnering with our association. We didn't set the bar too high, it was a case of "let's just go with it and see what happens", sometimes its just the opportunity of trying something new and successes of any measure, is still just that, a success. By the end of the show, people certainly knew about us because we had Hammy the Hammerhead Shark circulating the building as well.....in addition to our stand. Which created instant 'stand-out' amongst visitors in attendance. 👆 Bringing laughter, hopefully a little joy, a good few selfies and photos and certainly a load of looks (but again, that hits point number 1) any attention is good attention if the eyes are on the brand. Storing nicely in one's consciousness for later, perhaps 😉 Point number 2 was hit automatically on the day. As for point number 3, I have certainly landed in the inbox of a few so will keep you all posted if any companies realise the potential of partnering with our association 🤝. But I'm not too worried about this point, if the opportunity is not for them, then word of mouth is still an effective form of marketing. They might just pass on my details if first impressions were satisfactory 👀. My testimonial was promoted by the Hampshire Business Show just yesterday. Again, it all adds to the awareness of who we are. My name, role and company name is on there, so even the small things are still adding to the exposure of the association, weeks after the show. Thank you Paul de Beer Josh Mitchell and the team Hampshire Business Show, I'm still buzzing from it! [email protected]

I'm so excited by the latest STEAM results, after City of Culture and the Commonwealth Games growth could have plateaued but NO for the third successive year and out stripped the performance of all our neighbours! Some of the headline stats are... Tourism in Coventry has grown for a third successive year with the value of the visitor economy rising to a record £855m in 2023. The visitor economy has grown by more than £100 million on the previous year and increased by £261 million on pre-pandemic figures. New research shows that 11.39 million people chose to visit Coventry last year, marking a new record and signalling growth of more than one million visitors since 2019. Visitor numbers have risen by 3.1 per cent compared to 2022, with visitor’s direct expenditure with the city’s hospitality, leisure, retail and tourism businesses up 13.9 per cent.

This is an iconic deal in the landscape of English cricket and possibly world cricket. GMR Group and Hampshire County Cricket Club and its assets, currently owned by Rod Bransgrove, have agreed to an aquistion! Rod has been such a huge contributor to the game in the UK. I personally think this deal will be the catalyst to opening the gates to further Indian investment into English cricket (not new news) which points towards a bigger holistic future of players being centrally contracted by franchises (not countries). There will be mixed views on this deal and the the future of state of world cricket. https://lnkd.in/gFKvGPsN
