Jimema - Thank you to Saracens Group for having me at the StoneX Stadium this week. It was incredibly insightful to have had a deep dive into the insides of running such a successful sporting team. I was surprised to find that the Saracens' culture really is an integral part of the business, with the four values being: Honesty, Discipline, Work-Rate and Humility. From experiencing the culture, financials, partnerships, marketing, sales, and charity. After coming up with, discussing and pitching ideas, I realised how much thought goes into creating their team's success. The behind-the-scenes of the actual rugby team is just truly amazing; the enthusiasm and love for the business shine through, and I was so lucky to experience it. It is so much more than just the sport.
