December 2022 – Battle of the Brits

After cancellation due to Covid in 2021, the long-awaited Battle of the Brits showdown finally happened in Aberdeen and was a huge success for organisers Mary Greenham and Jamie Murray, who also led Team Scotland. Pre-event media day saw us manage an airport arrival for both team Scotland and team England which was attended by multiple media outlets including TV news crews, content teams and photographers as well as national and regional Scottish media. All of this for 11 players! It needed all our organisational skills and experience to ensure it was a success and everyone got what they wanted. Andy Murray loved it and showed the Scottish crowd his trademark grit and determination when fighting past talented youngster Jack Draper in his singles match on the opening day. The fans were also treated to the Murray brothers putting on a show when teaming up for victory in the doubles in what was possibly their last match together on Scottish soil. These storylines helped ensure coverage of the event was massive, not just in the UK but globally. It’s a special and unique event and it was so important to reflect that.
