BUSINESS people in Huddersfield abandoned their desks for a day on the tennis court as part of a social and networking event in the town.
Some 90 professionals took part in a tennis fun day organised by commercial property agent Eddisons and banking giant HSBC at Huddersfield Lawn Tennis and Squash Club. Sixty players of all abilities competed in 120 matches before being wined and dined.
Matthew Scholey, director of Eddisons said: ‘The tennis fun day is a great way of encouraging people to leave the office behind for a few hours and meet other local business people.”
Jill Hague, head of commercial banking for HSBC in Huddersfield, said: “There was some excellent tennis played and the sun shone all afternoon, which was an added bonus.
“Everyone clearly enjoyed themselves and most importantly it got the business community in Huddersfield talking and hopefully created plenty of mutually beneficial opportunities.”
