There have been a number of articles in the Events Industry press over the last two years about corporate hospitality and how the Bribery Act affects the Events Industry. The Government made the following points in it’s definitive guide lines to the Bribery Act
“Bona fide hospitality and promotional, or other business expenditure which seeks to improve the image of a commercial organisation, better to present products and services, or establish cordial relations, is recognised as an established and important part of doing business and it is not the intention of the Act to criminalise such behaviour,” said the guidance.
“The guidance makes clear that no one is going to try to stop businesses getting to know their clients by taking them to events like Wimbledon, Twickenham or the Grand Prix,” said Clarke. “Reasonable hospitality to meet, network and improve relationships with customers is a normal part of business.”
There is no doubt the Corporate Hospitality is a valuable tool to be used when building and maintaining business relationships .
If your company is not fortunate enough to have that multiple thousand pound box at The Arsenal Ground or one of the Arenas it may well be that one of the off the shelf packages from one of the corporate hospitality companies suits your company and the clients tastes whether that might be a night out at a special event or a golf weekend or a sporting event. It may also be that you want to throw your own party and you may find that this is not only a cost effective way of planning corporate hospitality but also offers an opportunity to reward a larger number of clients and valued employees.
