England’s underwhelming World Cup performance may have dashed many dreams, but Denplan still has good reason to celebrate after its sporting success at this year’s Corporate Games.

Denplan smashed all personal records and walked away with two gold medals in the UK leg of the worldwide Corporate Games, held in Liverpool between May 14-16, 2010. Denplan entered teams in the mixed netball, football and tennis categories and fought off stiff competition from the likes of Fujitsu, John Lewis, IBM and Vodafone.

Special mentions are in order for Denplan’s netball squad ‘Team Danger’ who were undefeated for both days and went on to win gold. This is an improvement on the silver medal they picked up in the 2009 Brighton games and the bronze the year before at the World Games in Sheffield. In addition, Chris Davies’ tennis performance could have given Wimbledon-star Andy Murray a run for his money, picking up gold in the men’s singles.

The Corporate Games brings nationwide companies together to compete against one another in friendly sporting events as well as promoting healthy lifestyles and team work.
