If you were one of the many workplaces enthralled and excited by last Summer's Welsh inspired medal rush in Beijing and cannot wait for that big event in the capital in three years, then the South Wales Chamber and the British Athletes Commission (BAC) are providing you with a unique Invitation to support the nation's elite athletes through Team Business South Wales.

Over the next three years, the nation's elite athletes will be embarking on a sporting journey of a lifetime and this is a unique opportunity to link your company, your staff, your customers with your athletes.

Every step of the way your staff and customers can follow the athletes journey through a mixture of articles, features, interviews and blogs which we will supply all members of Team Business South Wales, which will be part of the UK wide British Athletes Affinity Club.

Reward your staff.  Support your athletes.

If over the next 12 months, you will be spending £28 per employee on rewards, benefits, perks and bonuses, then at no extra cost to your busness you can reward your staff and support the athletes.  The BAC are using the South Wales Invitation Book to enable businesses to reward and support.  Each member of staff will receive over 400 plus opportunities to save money on a wide variety of leisure, tourism, and retail activities in a total package worth over £10,000.

For a full list of offer and the PR benefits to your business on joining Team Business South Wales, please visit www.invitationbook.co.uk/bac or contact the BAC's David Cotton on 0117 934 1491.

South Wales Chamber helping stimulate the economy.

At the South Wales Chamber we have pledged our support for Team Business South Wales and the wider aims of the Affinity Club as we have identified four economic advantages for the region.

1. Stimulating Economic Activity
   Arming employees with these books will encourage them to spend more money in the region.  The total offers give the book greater potential expenditure than would be stimulated by £28 for cash and gift vouchers.  Commentators on the current economic climate have pointed to the need to get activity across all sectors which will generate business recovery. 
2. Free Marketing Platform for the Tourism, Leisure and Retail Sectors
   All the 400 plus retail, tourism and leisure businesses are on this platform free of charge.  The Invitation remains for all such businesses to take advantage of this. 
3. Encouraging Tourism
   People on short breaks in the area have a ready made money saving package to make their holiday budgets go further.
4. The Affinity Club will contain a free UK wide B2B trading platform for all members
   This compliments the free B2C platforms contained within the project.

Cost of Membership

£28* per employee, minimum purchase 30 copies, the books can also be used as customer incentives or client gifts.  Your company will have license to utilise the official logo and use all editorial in either internal or external communications to staff and customers and all the additional UK wide benefits as featured on www.invitationbook.co.uk/bac.

South Wales Chamber has created Team SME South Wales to enable it's micro and small businesses to support the athletes by purchasing smaller quantities of the Invitation book.  We will list all Chamber Members of Team SME on the website and the BAC Affinity website will link directly to it.
