Still time to enter summer’s hottest tournament – the Herman Miller Cup
The Furniture Makers’ Company’s annual five-a-side football tournament, the Herman Miller Cup, returns to Coventry this month and there is still time for teams to sign up to try and topple two time champions Whitemeadow Furniture.
Now in its seventh year, the five-a-side football tournament is sponsored this year by Herman Miller and supported by trade magazine Cabinet Maker.
The event will take place at the Lucozade Powerleague Football Centre, Coventry on Sunday 30 June 2019. Kick-off is at 1.00pm and teams will be guaranteed a minimum of three matches before the elimination rounds.
Last year the Whitemeadow Wizards battled 15 teams in the sweltering heat to take home the gold for the second year running. They are returning to Coventry this month to continue their undefeated streak – will your team stop them?
Andy Humphreys, Regional Director – UK & Ireland at Herman Miller, said: “At Herman Miller we are committed to making a Better World and we recognise our responsibility to inspire future generations to become stewards of humanity in our communities. Expanding on that foundation we’ve teamed up with The Furniture Makers’ Company to support the welfare of those in our industry. We are delighted to sponsor the five aside tournament on 30 June and will be dusting off our boots in an attempt to bring home the Herman Miller Cup! We look forward to seeing you all there – may the best team win!”
Jonny Westbrooke, CEO of The Furniture Makers’ Company, said: “The five-a-side football is open to all abilities and has become a fantastic team building day or reward for employees across the furnishing industry. I would like to thank our new sponsor Herman Miller for making this fundraiser possible.”
The cost of entering a team of seven is £480 (including VAT) and a barbecue lunch is included.
