 Merseyside Business Games 
2017 
  
MSP are hosting their annual Merseyside 
Business Games event in November, with an evening of fun and inclusive 
teambuilding activities on offer. Bring a team of colleagues along from your 
workplace and see the business benefits that physical activity can bring. 
 
The event returns to Greenbank Sports Academy in Liverpool, from 6.00pm to 9.00pm, 
on Thursday, 2 November 2017. The evening consists of teams (5 to 7 people per team) 
taking part in a variety of exciting beginner-level sports and activities, 
scoring points for their team in a bid to become the most active organisation in 
Merseyside! Businesses of all shapes and sizes attend the event, and no previous 
experience of sport or level of fitness is required for individuals to take 
part. 
  
Merseyside Business Games is organised by MSP, who promote physical activity and 
sport in the workplace as part of their 'Active Workplaces' programme. 
There are clear business benefits to having a more active workforce, with 
research showing that active staff take 27% less sick days than colleagues who 
are inactive. Investing in workplace physical activity also enhances an 
organisation's Corporate Social Responsibility, reduces staff turnover and 
improves staff morale, team working and communication. Danny Woodworth from MSP said:- 
"This event is a great way for staff to come together to bond with their 
colleagues and network with other organisations. Attendees in 2016 told us that 
they thoroughly enjoyed taking part in a variety of activities, learning 
top-tips to be more active to improve their health and wellbeing." 
  
This year's event, sponsored by Sonex Publishing, is now open for any 
organisation in Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens or on the Wirral 
to enter.
