Our Next Challenge Awaits

/in /by

As the green and gold glitter settles after the Springboks’ RWC triumph in Japan, the Treble team are busy underway ensuring that the Cape Town leg of the 2019-20 HSBC World Sevens Series will be the best one ever.

It’s exactly one month till we deliver another world-class food & beverage solution, and it’s the final stretch of 2019 for our talented and dedicated team. It’s been an event-filled year, but this one is always close to Treble’s hearts.

The beautiful Mother City will once again welcome the finest Sevens players in the world. But what makes this edition so special is that it’ll be the first time that the world’s top Women in the Sevens arena compete in their own competition.

The ladies’ competition will run alongside selected legs of the 2019-20 HSBC World Sevens Series, with the jewel in the crown coming in the form of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Supporters from across the globe will be in their element in the glorious December sun at the majestic Cape Town Stadium, which is one of the Mother City’s iconic treasures and was shortlisted for the Event of the Year Award during the Stadium Business Summit, which took place in the United Kingdom earlier this year.

The award nomination recognised the host venue and the venue’s management/operational team for delivering an excellent event. The Cape Town Sevens was also been named Best Live Sports Experience in South Africa at the Discovery Sport Industry Awards for the past two years.

Treble Group is honoured to be part of this world-class event. Our operations team successfully delivered an unmatched food and beverage solution for the fourth year in a row in 2018, catering for over 100 000 rugby supporters and 2019 promises to be the best one yet.

Special Moment for Treble

/in , /by

Humbled and over-awed was the reaction of Springbok captain Siya Kolisi when he walked out of customs to a united South Africa, where thousands of Springbok supporters were there to welcome their heroes at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg on Tuesday evening.

Kolisi and South Africa’s Director of Rugby, Rassie Erasmus, whose flight via Sydney was delayed by a few hours, walked through the main arrivals hall, which erupted with thunderous cheers when the Bok captain walked through the doors carrying the Webb Ellis Cup.

This is only the beginning of what will be reminiscent of scenes in 1995 and 2007. Treble worked closely together with SA Rugby to successfully organise the Trophy Tour after Jake White and John Smit brought the Webb Ellis Cup following the Boks’ 15-6 win over England in Paris.

It’s our time again, and once again Treble has been tasked with ensuring that millions of South Africans get to see their heroes parade world rugby’s greatest prize. The planning of this project is mammoth and there is very little time to waste. But Treble’s experienced team will strive to ensure that South Africa shares this special moment with their heroes

No rugby team on the planet can eclipse the unification and nation-building that this little golden cup brings to South Africa. Treble has had first-hand experience of this for the entire duration of the tournament.

Treble’s management of Boktowns across the country, and through one of our valued accounts, namely the Springbok Supporters Club, we have seen South Africans from all walks of life unite. The Springbok Supporters Club is owned by South African Rugby Union (SARU) (51 percent) and Treble (49 percent).

Springbok Supporters’ Club account manager, Carmen Taylor, has been overawed by the power of rugby to unite all South Africans. “The Springboks have raised the hopes of a nation and united South Africans globally. We stand proudly behind the Boks and throughout the Rugby World Cup the Springbok Supporters Club has been in the front row rallying the support of the fans.

“With eleven official Boktown venues, Treble has seen thousands of Springbok fans gather to watch the games on the big screens. The atmosphere at Boktowns has been electrifying and we continue to drive the passion of the fans as we celebrate with the Boks on their victory parade.

The trophy tour kicks off in Gauteng on Thursday, 7 November, with the Bok bus travelling through parts of Pretoria, Johannesburg and Soweto.

On Friday (8 November) the Boks will be in Durban, followed by stops in East London (Saturday 9 November), Port Elizabeth (Sunday 10 November) and Cape Town (Monday 11 November).
