BLUE ORCHID HOSPITALITY'S INVESTMENT

Blue Orchid Hospitality's long-standing commitment to investing in London, supporting communities and transforming public spaces, led by Chairman Tony Matharu, has culminated in a remarkable full-circle moment, as the Basketball England Commonwealth Games gold medal-winning men's 3x3 basketball team returns to the very court where they inspired thousands ahead of the Games. On Thursday 6 August, from 12:00pm to 2:00pm, Jamell Anderson, Ashley Hamilton, Dwayne Lautier-Ogunleye and Evan Walshe will return to the London Sports Festival's pop-up 3x3 basketball court in Paternoster Square, proudly bringing their Commonwealth Games gold medals back to the City of London. The visit is more than a celebration of sporting success. It represents the outcome of a vision led by Blue Orchid Hospitality, whose investment as Headline Partner of the London Sports Festival has helped transform central London into a destination where elite sport, community participation and business engagement come together. Earlier this year, Blue Orchid Hospitality worked alongside Central London Alliance, Book It Please, Cheapside Business Alliance, Paternoster Square, London 3x3 and the City of London Corporation to welcome the King's Baton Relay to the heart of the Square Mile. As part of the celebrations, the men's, women’s and wheelchair women’s 3x3 basketball teams coached local schoolchildren, met residents, workers and visitors, and showcased the sport.
