Six of the best for Chamber 5ives!
We are delighted that six teams have signed up for the Chamber 5ives Summer Football League. They are Anglia Farmers, Grosvenor Casino, Birketts Solicitors, Colin Grooms Solicitors, Cooper BMW, and STM Polythene. Here is what they had to say about why they joined this very popular and competitive league:
“We wanted to find a way that we could do something together outside the office, and the Chamber 5ives League provides a great opportunity to do this and get closer as a team. The league is extremely well organised, we even get our own team kit, and is a good balance of friendly and competitive. As a company, Anglia Farmers will gain valuable exposure through the Norfolk Chamber. The team is loving every minute of the league so far and having so much fun. Obviously we’d love to win the league and three games in we are where we want to be.”
Sean Dugdale, Anglia Farmers Insurance Manager and team captain
"We were looking for a football league to enter a team and the Chamber 5s presented the ideal opportunity. We jumped at the chance to sign up and it is great that Birketts will benefit from all the publicity associated with the league. We have played a few games already and although there is lots of room for improvement, the games have been great for team bonding and getting some much-needed exercise into the work diary."
Matthew Downing, Birketts solicitor and team captain
“I have always been interested in football, so when I heard about Chamber 5ives I suggested we put a team together. The players are young and keen and I believe that when you have such a high level of enthusiasm you should nurture it. We are having great fun and improving our game all the time. We’re also looking forward to getting some good awareness through the Chamber media channels.”
Colin Grooms, company Principal and team manager
“We joined Chamber 5ives because we wanted to do more to support the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce, get some exposure for the company and take part in a fun, team-building activity. The players are loving it so far and they are improving every time they play.”
Emily Adcock, Cooper BMW Business Development Manager and team manager
“After winning last season’s cup we are keen to come back and defend out title. This league is the best I have ever played in, very professional, great fun and we have gained some excellent brand coverage for Grosvenor Casino through the Norfolk Chamber.”
Paul Copp, Grosvenor Casino Sales Manager and team captain
“This is our second season in the Chamber 5ives league. We had such a great time in the last one, there was no doubt we’d sign up again. Playing has really helped the team’s fitness, as we aren’t exactly the next Usain Bolts, and we have built a better relationship with one another. Plus, we have gained great some awareness of our business locally and what we provide.”
Luke Farrant, Sales Executive at STM Polythene and team captain.
