The Premiership Suite at Welford Road provided the perfect venue as sponsors were able to meet senior players Craig Newby and Jordan Crane as well as potential new clients.
Bhavin Patani, of long-time club partners Oval Insurance, said: "We do a lot of networking and it is great to be able to come here and meet other sponsors and potential business prospects.
“We are commercial insurance brokers and it is good for us to be able to meet other businesses who are involved with the club and for us to have that association with Leicester Tigers.
“We’ve been involved with Tigers for perhaps 30 years and we have a strong sporting heritage within the company so it is nice to be here and meet so many people from inside and outside the club.”
Tigers back-rower Newby, who led the team out in last season’s Aviva Premiership Final, said: “We are in a position where we are being paid to do what we love doing, which is playing rugby, and that cannot happen without the help of people like you in this room.
“On behalf of the players and the club, we’d like to thank you for that support and look forward to seeing you at Welford Road during the season.”
James Wootton, Tigers corporate sales executive, said: "The networking event was organised to work with corporate clients to increase their brand awareness and exposure, to introduce them to other companies associated with the club and hopefully generate potential new business leads.
"We see great mutual benefits in networking events and the feedback has been very positive."
