The second Vice-Chancellor’s Business Games is a fantastic opportunity for staff from local businesses and partners to gather and enjoy some friendly competition as they take part in a range of sporting activities and build upon the success of the first ever VC games competition in 2022. 

Introducing, the second Vice-Chancellor’s Business Games! 

Following on from the successful Diamond Jubilee year, CCCU continues to celebrate its wonderfully diverse community, its commitment to being a sustainable University and its passion for developing meaningful and mutually beneficial collaborations with business partners including:  

• inspiring knowledge exchange  
• providing a talent pipeline of graduate skills to enhance the regional workforce  
• pioneering research into significant social issues  
• supporting the local economy as a major employer and centre for undergraduate and postgraduate education  
• making a difference in the community from our hospitals to our schools, from the creative industries to science, engineering and technology sectors  
• valuing partnerships and collaborations, old and new  

Suitable for all ages and abilities – Teams will compete for the Business Games Trophy 🏆, fair play prize and best dressed team during this fun and engaging day. You will enjoy refreshments, a BBQ and have the chance to network and make connections. All proceeds from the day will go towards our chosen charity, Keep Talking Services.

5 reasons why businesses should consider getting involved: 

• Engage in a friendly competition with other organisations while connecting in an informal environment 
• teams can be made up of colleagues and/or business connections- the perfect opportunity for a team building/away day 
• support local community engagement

How signing up works: 

• a representative from the business will need to apply via our website and fill in our simple form 
• for ease, all communication will then go via the representative 
• each team member will need to fill out a short health statement on the day 
• a delegate pack will be issued prior to the event, which will include FAQs and useful information for on the day. If you don’t have enough team members, you can still sign up as we’ll put teams together. 
• we’ll also send email reminders and information to the representative closer to the time about what to wear, where to go, what to bring and much more!
