Dan Benton - Client Relationship Manager ( IG Index)

"I have known Steve for many years since he worked for me in the construction industry and knew that he was a very thorough and competent professional, and a very pleasant person to deal with.
Therefore when we were considering organising a social event for a number of our clients to watch a world cup game this year I naturally thought about talking to him. He came up with some great ideas to make the day both interesting and enagaging and also suggested some great venues, all at a very reasonable cost.
The organisation by Steve's team on the day was excellent, the sporting legends who hosted the event made the whole game come alive and a great time was had by everyone who attended.
I would not hesitate in recommending Eclipse Sports Promotions and we will certainly be using them again."

Richard Herrington - Financial Director (Mace Group)

"Who knew? Old Trafford,a stadium tour, a delicious lunch, a couple of footballing old boys!

It seems perfectly reasonable to expect the best and Eclipse Sports certainly didn’t disappoint.

I had a delightful time hanging out with interesting people, listening to fascinating presentations and exploring those areas of Old Trafford that I never imagined I’d have the opportunity to see.

I was thoroughly surprised by how much I enjoyed the United experience."  

Louise Garston - Business Development Manager (Geoffrey Miller Solicitors)

"Thank you for a brilliant day yesterday! (media lunch) It was one of the most fun afternoons I have had for a very long time. We really appreciate your (eclipse) wonderful support".
Jonathan Powell - CEO (Vitalise)

"I have just enjoyed my first eclipse event,cricket at the Lords indoor centre. A well managed event with the opportunity to play with and against four legends of the game. A great set up ,with just the right blend of competetive,yet enjoyable cricket,good food,good company and the chance to meet like minded peers. I look forward to my next eclipse event".
Sean O'Donovan (Hanbury Financial)

“The celebrity Christmas lunch was superb.  Apart from the welcoming venue, good food and fine wine, having organised games was a master stroke.  It made people relax from the outset and the celebrities also really entered into the spirit of the afternoon. From a business point of view, we made some useful contacts and I know that Pat was equally impressed with the whole event, so much so that Pat Eddery Racing will be joining forces in a joint event with Eclipse Sports Promotions later this year.  Watch this space”!
Simon Double, Racing Manager (Pat Eddery Racing)
