  • Flying the flag: The Biz-Events team celebrates winning the Hercules Trophy.

    The fourth annual Hercules Trophy UAE, sponsored by Daman ActiveLife, saw leading companies in the region battle it out at the Sevens Stadium on Saturday to take home the honours in the inter-company sports event.

    An overwhelming turnout of 1,500 employees, executives and supporters from some of the biggest companies across the UAE joined forces to conquer the 12 labours that comprise the trophy.

    Kicking off the day with a brain challenge, teams then progressed to several physical challenges which were specially designed to promote teamwork amongst teams.

    Dr. Sven Rohte, Chief Commercial Officer of Daman, said: “It has been a remarkable day and one with which we are proud to be associated. 

    "It is heartening to see so many of these organisations recognising the importance of teamwork and investing in their employees with participation at events such as this. There was real team spirit on display today and all the entrants should be proud of their achievements.”

    Biz-Events entered two teams and reigned supreme on the day, with their Biz Attack team taking home the Trophy ahead of their colleagues Biz Invasion who were just a single point behind in second place. 

    Third place was awarded to the Kcal Rebels from healthy fast food chain, Kcal.

    Dr. Rohte added: “As the leader in health insurance solutions, we are acutely aware of the benefits of a healthy workforce both to the work environment and to the business as a whole. The Daman Hercules Trophy is an excellent initiative; by encouraging the UAE workforce to get active and adopt a healthy mindset, we are helping to shape the business sector for future success.”

    Inge Van Belle, Co-founder of Hercules Trophy said: “It’s not easy to organize a corporate team event that appeals to everyone, especially not in Dubai where people can choose between so many activities throughout the weekend.

    "We are very happy to see how the participating teams were committed to an active lifestyle, to their company and also to each other. We’re already looking forward to next year’s edition.”
