TBT takes football fans to the World Cup!

Nine lucky winners were the envy of their peers after winning tickets to attend an all expenses paid trip to the World Cup in South Africa in June. The trip also included a cultural visit and a wonderful big game safari.

The winners took part in a competition which required partners to sell IT products between 2 November 2009 and 31 March 2010, with points allocated per unit sold. Those who had accumulated the highest number of points won a four day trip to South Africa which culminated in a fantastic hospitality package in Rustenburg to watch England’s first world cup match against USA.  A total of 102 partners entered the competition, totalling 510 individuals.

For those that didn't win tickets to South Africa, TBT ran hospitality events for 200 people at The Emirates Stadium and Old Trafford on 23 June for the England vs Slovenia game
