Consectatio ExcellentiaeIn Pursuit of Excellence
Sunderland Association Football ClubConference, Events & Hotel CentreSeason 2015-16
Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.
Welcome
The Stadium of Light is recognised as one of the sporting world’s most spectacular arenas, with
Sunderland AFC playing host to a global audience through the vast reach of the Barclays Premier League,
alongside welcoming up to 49,000 fans to the stadium itself for every game.
The characteristics that drive on-field success flow throughout the club and our versatile stadium offers a
breath-taking backdrop in which to host meetings and events, with many organisations and individuals alike
already working in tandem with our knowledgeable and experienced staff to achieve their business goals.
The club is proud of our strong relationships and community standing and we recognise our role in supporting
and promoting a vibrant regional economy. The ongoing investment in our facilities and the stadium’s vast and
modern infrastructure continues to ensure that our supporters and business clients enjoy nothing but positive
experiences when organising, hosting or attending events at the home of Sunderland AFC.
The exciting addition of a Hilton Garden Inn Hotel, opening on the stadium site in April 2016, pays testament to
our ongoing commitment to the region and we are confident that, with your support, Sunderland Association
Football Club and the Stadium of Light will continue to go from strength to strength for years to come.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Stadium of Light.
Yours sincerely,
Margaret Byrne

‘A huge congratulations and thank you
to all the 1879 team for all the hard work
and dedication you put in to this year’s
Newcastle Pride. Your planning was second
to none, and the change of site the week
before the event, did not phase you.
The management and communication
from the top down was excellent and your
creative ideas really added an extra element
to the event. We look forward to working
with you in the near future.’
Peter Darrant – Chair
Northern Pride
The 1879 team were fantastic. I’ve seen a
few events set up at The Bridges now but
none as slick and professional as that.
The food was also excellent, as was the
service.”
