The Nike Group in brief



Bracknell Bees Ice Hockey Club is preparing for a major summer shakeup ahead of its inaugural season in the Findus British National League (FBNL).
The Bees will be appointing a new coach and signing a host of new players to add to its homegrown talent ahead of the campaign’s start in September.The Club announced earlier this year that it was to switch from the Ice Hockey Superleague (ISL).The inter-league move has now been rubber stamped by FBNL chiefs.
Bees Chief Executive, Martin Weddell, said:“We have known for some time that the way forward for ice hockey in the UK is with the FBNL and we are delighted to have had this confirmed.”
The switch will resume a host of mouth-watering local derbies, with matches against such teams as Guildford Flames boosting hopes of good season ticket sales.The season’s fixture list will be published later this summer.
Ice hockey matches are played at Bracknell Ice Rink, in the John Nike Leisuresport Complex. For tickets call 01344 789000.
For a chance to win fantastic Bees prizes for all the family see the Connections competition on the back page.



We want YOU as a new recruit



The success of the Nike Group of Companies’ graduate training scheme continues with the latest round of recruitment planned for the summer.
The Group offers opportunities for recent graduates looking for their first step onto the managerial ladder. The John Nike Leisuresport Limited branch of the Group recruits graduates from a broad range of leisure degrees, such as sports science, for its two year training programme. Each trainee spends six months at a number of the Group’s six centres across the country to gain experience of a variety of regional business operations and cultures.
Nike Group Hotels offer trainee places to graduates with a degree or equivalent level qualification in a hospitality related subject. The courses last from 12 to 18 months, depending on the areas of specialisation chosen to suit the career aspirations of each graduate, such as in sales and marketing or food and beverage. The time is divided between different departments at either The Swan at Streatley or the Coppid Beech Hotel.
Also, Techmat 2000 Limited, a subsidiary specialising in the manufacturing of dry ski slope matting is currently seeking a management trainee to grow with its new product, PERMA-SNOW™, the latest in blanket matting.
The Group’s programmes have been running for around six years and currently a total of eight graduates are benefiting from the scheme. This season’s recruitment drive will focus on the hotels, offering two trainee places at The Swan at Streatley and three at the Coppid Beech Hotel.
If you are interested in applying for a graduate trainee position at the Coppid Beech Hotel or The Swan at Streatley, apply in writing with your CV to: The Personnel Department, c/o The Coppid Beech Hotel, John Nike Way, Bracknell, Berks, RG12 8TF. Alternatively, e-mail personnel@nikegroup.co.uk



Ski the length of Everest

It’s 50 years since Sir Edmund Hillary scaled Mount Everest and, to mark the occasion, patrons of John Nike Leisuresport, Llandudno, are being given the opportunity to ski the length of the world’s highest mountain – and help a local charity into the bargain.
On 16, 17 and 18 September, between 5pm and 9pm, the ski and snowboard centre is holding a skiing event at which customers are sponsored to ski down the slope 47 times – the equivalent distance of skiing down Everest (8,848m).
All money raised will go to the Llandudno Lifeboat centre via the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).
For further information or an application form call 01492 874707 or drop into the North Wales centre – forms must be in by 31 August.
