Celebrating 30 Years of Working with Honda

We are delighted to announce that we have just celebrated our 30th anniversary of working with long-standing client Honda.

Celebrating 30 Years of Working with Honda

We operated our first event for Honda in 1980, organising a dealer incentive trip to Thailand. Our events team have estimated that over the last three decades we have delivered in excess of 150 events for Honda on virtually every continent.

Amongst others, our work has included:

The largest event: Honda’s 50th Anniversary celebrations at the Isle of Man TT Races, which hosted 8,000 visitors from around the world.

The longest event: The launch of the Accord to the European Press in Baden-Baden which ran consecutively for three months.

In recognition of this milestone and to celebrate the 30 year partnership between the two companies, we hosted senior management from all divisions of Honda UK and Honda Motor Europe at a reception.

Celebrating 30 Years of Working with Honda

We have always sought to build long term partnerships with our clients and as we enter our fourth successive decade of business, it was such an accolade to celebrate our partnership with Honda. In the words of our Chairman - Len Wilcock: “To work for thirty years with a brand such as Honda is a true privilege and honour”.

In the words of our client “The relationship that Honda has had with Worldspan has been nothing short of outstanding. You understood the Honda philosophy and above all, what your business has created for our staff, dealers and customers are memories and for that we are extremely grateful”.

Cancer Research Appeal

Breast cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK and almost 46,000 new cases are diagnosed every year. Sadly more and more people are being affected from the consequences of the disease either directly, or indirectly, through people they know and love.

The good news is that the number of women dying from breast cancer has fallen to less than 12,000 for the first time in almost 40 years.

Thanks to improved detection and better treatments, more people are beating breast cancer than ever before and now 8 out of 10 breast cancer patients survive beyond five years.

Fibre to the Home

During September, our Web Team completed the new Fibrecity website to launch Fibrecity’s next generation services (http://fibrecity.eu/). To allow the users to sign-up for the Fibrecity services, our web developers used geo-referencing software to match a user’s postcode with the official Ordnance Survey records. This now allows residents firstly to check that their postcode sits within the Fibrecity area and, secondly, to sign-up for ‘Fibre to the Home’. All data is then securely logged and downloadable for the Fibrecity Team to take forward.
