Sports management firm launches HQ in Worcester
Sports management and promotion company Cube International has launched its 45,000 sq ft facility in Worcester.
The facility was opened jointly by the Mayor of Worcester, Cllr Stephen Hodgson, Perry the Bull, the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games mascot, and Cube International’s CEO, Ed Boardman.
The new facility will bring together several areas of the business.
Boardman said: “The opening of our new HQ in Worcester is an important development in the growth of the Cube International business and an important step in delivering our ambitious growth plans. Our new facility will also allow us to enhance our efficiency and sustainability within the sports industry and enable us to integrate our group more effectively. It is a big step forward as we grow our national and international footprint to best serve our clients and partners.”
The company said the Commonwealth Games, to be held in Birmingham this year, has been a major catalyst in the decision to move to Worcester, where the warehouse element will be used to manage the on-event retail programme for the Games, providing stock management and logistics.
As a business Cube has recently trebled its head count and will, during the Games, employ more than 50 Megastore employees from June to the end of the Games, as well as 1,000 event retail staff across all the Games venues and villages.
David Leather, CGF Partnership’s CEO said: “Seeing the impact of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games through the attraction of new business to the region, local business growth and enhanced jobs and skills opportunities in the West Midlands, truly demonstrates the legacy hosting the Commonwealth Games can have on a region. With less than 150 days to go until the Games, it is wonderful to see Cube, our Official Master Licensee, bring even greater benefits to the region for Games time and beyond.”
