Lancashire Cricket has developed a six-year extension with Corinthian Sports, a leading premium hospitality provider.
As part of the deal, the brand will remain the club’s exclusive official hospitality provider in The Edge at Emirates Old Trafford. The Edge was utilised by Corinthian to house their luxury Pegasus Lounge when it opened in the summer of 2023, when the New Development at Emirates Old Trafford was completed.
On big matchdays, the Pegasus Lounge is open, providing a variety of activities to accommodate everyone seeking a memorable day out at Lancashire Cricket’s home field.
In order to meet the demands of both individuals and businesses, Corinthian specialised in offering the best customised sports and corporate hospitality packages, making sure that its consumer’s days are memorable and impactful. The Edge offers improved pitch-viewing amenities for fans, including a two-story penthouse with a terrace for spectators, located beneath the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel’s 100-room addition.
Angela Hodson, Sales Director at Lancashire Cricket, said, “We are really pleased to be able to announce this extension of our agreement with Corinthian Sports, who have played an incredibly valuable role – since 2023 – in getting the New Development at Emirates Old Trafford up and running. Following a successful first two summers of working together, we are thrilled to extend our agreement for the long-term to continue to offer hospitality guests a second to none experience here at Emirates Old Trafford.
“The Pegasus lounge, the first one to be launched at a cricket venue, has been a superb addition to our hospitality offering and we look forward to working closely alongside Corinthian to enhance the experience throughout the next six years.”
Corinthian Sports Owner, Gavin O’Callaghan, said, “We are absolutely delighted to be continuing our valued, long-term agreement with Lancashire Cricket, a relationship that has gone from strength to strength over the past two years. We extend our sincere thanks to the entire team at the Club for their unwavering support, professionalism, and collaborative spirit – this partnership has been instrumental in delivering exceptional experiences for our clients and guests. As we now enter our third year working together, we’re proud to reflect on a hugely successful foundation that has been built alongside Lancashire Cricket so far and are excited to accelerate on the momentum over the next six years.
“With a shared commitment to excellence, we look forward to elevating our Pegasus Lounge offering even further within the Edge and continuing to deliver one of the UK’s leading hospitality experiences – all set against the backdrop of one of the country’s most iconic cricket venues, boasting the best view in the game.”
Lucas Gambel, Head of New Business Manchester at Corinthian Sports, commented, “One of the reasons why I wanted to move up to Manchester to develop and run the Manchester New Business team and office, was to work with Lancashire Cricket, who have been a benchmark of excellence in delivering great events. This news is incredibly exciting, and I can’t wait to carry working alongside the Emirates Old Trafford team for years to come.”
