• Speed Networking with Balls! – Sport Relief
 
ELA Marketing took part in the Make Your Mark …with a ball challenge on the 13th March. The challenge had to include a ball that raised funds for Sport Relief!
 
Lizzie came up with a Speed Networking event with a difference. Each delegate was given a different colour ball, which corresponded to a sport (Golf, Tennis, Football and Cricket.) The event was kindly sponsored by About My Area – CM9 and the venue donated by Unique Results. Over 20 businesses took part in the event and 203 was raised for Sport Relief which is fantastic. A huge thank you to our sponsors, Homebase and the Waterhouse Lane Business Park. The amount of money raised will fund a teacher in a Bangladeshi school for 6 months.
