Manchester based Black Opal Travel Group host celebrity webcasts with sporting legends

Manchester based Black Opal Travel Group host celebrity webcasts to provide clients with a way to stay connected in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

While the travel industry has come to a halt Black Opal wanted to find a way to stay connected to their customers and to give something back to all those who have had plans cancelled or postponed.

The sports travel specialists originally set up an informal webinar with their brand ambassadors David Gower, Zac Crawley, Jason Roy and Gladstone Small. The format was so greatly received by cricket fans who were in much need of their cricket fix, that the idea has now been developed into a range of live webcasts with different guests and celebrity hosts from across the sporting world.

Black Opal have also partnered with the charity The Lords Taverners on a number of their At Home Social webcasts which has been a great platform to the charity while all fundraising events have been cancelled, helping to keep them to raise some much needed funds.

The free webcasts are broadcast live at 4pm on a Friday with the opportunity to ask questions live to the guests.

Upcoming At Home Socials include British and Irish Lions with Sky Sports Commentator Miles Harrison who will be joined by Lions legends Rob Andrew, Robert Jones, Rob Henderson & Scott Hastings on 12th June.

On the 19th June, they will be joined by guest host BBC’s Golf Correspondent Iain Carter speaks to stars of The Farmfoods European Legends Links Championship Ian Woosnam OBE, Peter Baker and Paul Lawrie OBE as they discuss the Ryder Cup past and present.
