Businesses went into bat to build team spirit.

The inaugural Workplace B’Ashes took place at the Sussex County Cricket Ground in Eaton Road, Hove.

Six teams went head to head playing Kwik cricket but it was EMC that walked off with the trophy, signed T20 shirt and complimentary match tickets after beating Brighton and Hove Jobs in the final.

Other participants included Santander, an A and B team from Platinum Lace, Fireco and Active Sussex.

Nik Askaroff, managing director at the form said: “We are delighted to have won. It was a great day and a lot of fun. I think it’s a great way to team build and fantastic to get the opportunity to play on the pitch at Hove. We will definitely be looking to defend the trophy next year.”

Tony Cottey, business development manager at Sussex County Cricket Club, said: “I am sure this event could become a permanent fixture on the business calendar for many years to come. EMC did really well and I’d like to thank all the teams for taking part and making it such good fun.”
