Hosted at BANK restaurant in Brindley place over lunch, Eastwood narrated the journey and challenges Wasps have faced in their move from High Wycombe to Coventry.

Clive Read, Office Partner from VWV asked; “What do the next 5 years look like for Wasps and Ricoh?”. Eastwood commented; “We will continue to win hearts and minds through engagement. The honeymoon period of Wasps’ arrival in Coventry has ended and we are approaching the hard yard”.

Eastwood also commented on continuing the growth outside of the pitch with plans to keep the concert, exhibition and events business in growth, impacting not just the Ricoh but the wider Coventry area with plans to build a new hotel.

Coventry has also been named as the UK’s European City of Sport for 2019. Eastwood expressed his excitement for the increased presence for Coventry and the surrounding areas. Wasps will be engaging with the city partners to drive community and international exposure to put Coventry on the European sporting map.
