Corporate Challenge Manchester 2023

Try Tag Rugby Manchester welcomes organisations across a diverse range of industries, from blue chip multinationals to niche industry experts to participate in its first Corporate Challenge Manchester.

Tag Rugby is a level playing field for all to participate and the Corporate Challenge is the perfect opportunity to get your workmates together for a unique team building and networking experience whilst enjoying the sport you love. To be played on well-maintained grass pitches, this year the winners of the tournament will be able to select a charity for all proceeds to be donated to.

Corporate Challenge Manchester is a new tournament, specifically for work teams. The tournament is an opportunity for new and existing corporate teams alike to compete for the title of Best Corporate Team. Proving successful in Yorkshire and London, we thought now was a great opportunity to create this tournament for companies in Manchester. In previous years, the tournament has attracted companies including Jet2, DLA Piper, Tesco Mobile, Mazars, Pitchero and many more. Each year, we have donated over £700 to worthy charities including Marie Curie, NHS Charities Together and the MND Association.
