CHINEHAM PARK OCCUPANTS AND EMPLOYEES RIDE THE WAVES AT SUMMER BEACH PARTY

MEPC Chineham Park held their annual fun day on Friday 18th July with the theme of a beach party, complete with an authentic Caribbean BBQ, steel band and a surf simulator.

The event, in the Spindlewood area of the park, was free to attend for all occupants and employees at the site, of which 500 turned up on the day to enjoy the festivities. Rupert Batho, Managing Director of Chineham Park said: Chineham Park is home to over 40 organisations and so we see it as a community; we would like all who work here to feel as though they belong. Organising the annual fun day is our way of giving something back to them to thank them for making it such a great place to work.

Even the weather was in support of the party, with the rain holding off until after the party had finished. The party-goers listened to the music of a steel band and enjoyed a BBQ by Caribbean Cookpot, a company who specialise in providing authentic Caribbean catering services, with chefs from both Barbados and Jamaica. The guests then spent the afternoon trying out the surf simulator to see who could stay on the longest! Donna Williams, a recent newcomer to Chineham Park and Call Dispatcher – Hardware for Kofax UK Ltd, said: It was lovely to feel part of something bigger than just one company and great to network with other people working on the park.
