England rugby legend launches Avanta race day

Serviced office company Avanta has announced plans to hold a charity horse racing event for the property industry at Kempton Park racecourse in September.

The Avanta Race Day was officially launched by England rugby legend Jason Leonard at a reception on board the Avanta yacht at this year’s MIPIM, the annual world real estate conference in Cannes, France.

The reception attracted a big crowd of guests who were treated to a preview of the event, which will raise money for Sparks, the charity which supports children’s medical research. It is hoped that the event will attract some of the biggest names in property for a day’s networking, horseracing and fund raising.

David Alberto, Avanta’s Chief Executive, said: “The Avanta Race Day will be a tremendous social and sporting occasion for the property industry, while raising funds for this extremely worthwhile cause. While this is the 1st year we are running the event, we hope to grow it into an annual event, making it an established and popular date in the industry’s calendar.”

Avanta currently operates eight business centres in prime locations across London and the Thames Valley, offering highly flexible, unbranded office space. The offices are fitted with advanced and competitively priced business technology, tailor-made to meet the requirements of any company, whatever shape or size.

In addition to their office technology package, Avanta has recently launched a new virtual office service – Avanta Virtual PA. The service offers businesses with a complete package of office support but without the actual office space. Virtual PA can deliver a full range of business centre facilities to home workers, business start-ups, professionals on the move, or larger organisations seeking a market presence in London.

Aligned to the launch of the Virtual PA, is Avanta’s Meeting and Training Room service (MTR) - for companies who wish to hire space for a board away day or brainstorm session, a day’s interviewing or seminar and training, Avanta can offer meeting rooms complete with audio and video conferencing.
