In a fast-changing world, the right to host major sports events has become a highly valued prize for nations, regions and cities.

Bidding for events is ferociously competitive and highly political. Successful bids demand a combination of high level strategic, management and communications skills together with access to thought-leaders and opinion formers in sport and beyond.

Rushmans offers a complete consultancy service to bidders.

Drawing on more than a quarter of a century of experience of the world's biggest events, our consultants will analyse opportunities, assess likely legacy outcomes against clients' objectives and help them decide whether to bid and for which events.

During the bidding process we offer access to a wide-range of event planning and communications services to ensure development and delivery of a credible, powerful and persuasive bid.
