Fun Fair Extravaganza for Fusion

Free Fun Day "thankyou" for colleagues

Immediate release: 10 July 2009

Employees from Fusion Contact Centre Services in Sunderland and Peterlee were treated to a Family Fun Day for themselves, their families and friends at The Stadium of Light, Sunderland – home to Sunderland Football Club – on Saturday (July 4).

Fusion is the call centre division of the BGL Group which is one of the UK's largest privately-owned personal lines insurance intermediaries. The call centres handle customer service, sales and renewals calls for motor and home insurance brands including Budget, ibuyeco and Bennetts bike insurance as well as external partnerships with a number of other well-known and established brands such as Post Office®, Marks & Spencer and Auto Trader.

All employees were invited to bring up to five guests to the action-packed event which catered for all ages, with a complimentary barbecue, drinks and as much popcorn, sweets and ice cream as they could manage in the hot sunshine!

More than 500 people supported the event where they enjoyed a whole host of entertainments including the Bucking Bronco, high striker, bouncy castle and games such as Biff 'n' Bash and the Ball Pond. There was also a dedicated Kids Corner full of fun activities for the youngsters such as face painting and balloon modelling.

They were also treated to mini tours of the football stadium. The event was held during the week of The Stadium of Light Funfair Extravaganza so all the lucky Fusion revellers were all given VIP passes to fast-track to the front of the queues for the fairground rides too.

Jason Turner, Head of Fusion Contact Centres North East said: "We had a fantastic turnout. Everyone had a brilliant time. We know that our business success is down to the people we employ. We wanted to give something back to them and their families as a thank you for all their hard work and support throughout the year. We're proud to have created an action-packed event with something for everyone."
