The 2019 Business Games - Another Scorching Success!

On Friday 28 June, 20 workplace teams (over 150 participants) descended on Medway Park in Gillingham to battle it out for the right to be crowned the 2019 Kent & Medway Business Games Champions.

Teams participated in a range of sports including Wheelchair Basketball, Sitting Volleyball, Ultimate Frisbee, Baseball5, Human Table Football and Golf Darts. To wrap up the day, the teams took on the 4x100m 'T-Shirt Swap' relay.
