We are thrilled to announce our headline sponsors for this year’s Vice-Chancellor’s Business Games: Howden Insurance and All Health Matters Limited.

The Director of Communications at All Health Matters Limited, in expressing their enthusiasm, said: “We are thrilled to sponsor the Vice-Chancellor’s Business Games, an event that perfectly aligns with our commitment to promoting employee wellbeing and fostering healthy workplaces. Taking part in these games not only provides our team with an excellent opportunity to get active and bond outside the office but also allows us to connect with other like-minded businesses that prioritise the health and wellbeing of their employees. We’re especially proud to support the Kent MS Therapy Centre, as proceeds from the event will benefit this wonderful charity. We look forward to joining in the spirit of the games, strengthening our team cohesion, and meeting other businesses dedicated to corporate social responsibility and community support. Bring on the competition!”

Andy Davis, Branch Director at Howden Insurance said: “I am delighted to lead the Howden team as we continue to expand in Dover, Canterbury and the East Kent region.  Providing guidance and advice on a local level, combined with the bargaining power of a global business, our team is ready to help businesses and private individuals alike with all of their insurance needs. The Games are a great idea and we’re thrilled to be sponsoring them in 2024 and beyond.”

Our new headline sponsors will be joining other local (and not so local!) businesses who are also kindly supporting our event. Thank you to HitPlay Agency, Griffiths & Armour, Atlas, and Shepherd Neame. With this collective support, we are gearing up for an even more exhilarating event, filled with camaraderie, competition, and community support.

What is the Vice-Chancellor’s Business Games?

The Vice-Chancellor’s Business Games is more than just a sporting event; it’s a platform where professionals come together to forge connections, strengthen team dynamics, and give back to the community. As we enter our third year, we’re excited to offer a diverse range of activities, from thrilling relay races to obstacle courses, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

By participating in the games, teams will not only engage in friendly competition but also contribute to a noble cause. Proceeds from the event will go to our designated charity, the Kent MS Therapy Centre, supporting their invaluable work in providing services to those with Multiple Sclerosis and other neurological conditions.
