There was blood, sweat and tears on Friday when the Milton Keynes business community got together to play out their lunch break on the MK Lions basketball court in Middleton Hall, thecentre:mk, in support of the Milton Keynes Community Foundation’s Heart Campaign.

Managing Director of Interdirect, Nicholas Mann, joined forces with Robert Goodman, Centre Director of thecentre:mk, and  Charlie Wardle, Founder of Milton Keynes mental health charity Climb Your Mountain,  to form the Ambassadors Team for the Milton Keynes Community Foundation.

The MKCF Ambassadors, helped by MK Lions Coach Vince Macaulay, fought through 2 hours of tough, 10 minute battles. However it was the team from Ramada, with some ingenious shots  that stole the top spot, whilst Nick, Robert and Charile’s efforts (with just a little help from Vince) put the Ambassadors in an admirable third place.

Both the Marshall MK Lions and Interdirect’s recently launched PR division had a great night on Tuesday when world class jumper Guy Dupuy dunked a basketball, first over a motorbike, and then over Anglia presenter Kate Prout’s head!

Interdirect was managing the PR for the event and PR Director Debbie Lamb succeeded in getting coverage across local TV, print and radio.

The stunt was to celebrate MK Lions move to thecentre:mk, which was another success with the Lions playing to a sell out crowd of both old and new fans in Middleton Hall.

Check out some of the events coverage from Anglia, Heart FM, Look East, and MK News.
