All punters were winners with Keith Prowse at Aintree

Keith Prowse Press Release

Millions of people tuned into the Grand National this year and one company was in the midst of all the action. Keith Prowse entertained hundreds of guests over the three days at the new corporate hospitality facility, Paddock Lodge.

Keith Prowse offered unique VIP packages within Paddock Lodge at Liverpool’s iconic Aintree racecourse. Overlooking the Parade Ring and only a short walk to the County or Queen Mother Stands, Paddock Lodge was previously built as a private residence for the Topham family who ran Aintree until the 1970s.

Ted Walker, marketing manager, Keith Prowse, part of Compass Group, said: “Aintree is home to the biggest horse race in the world and we were thrilled that we could offer a brand new facility steeped with tradition. Guests benefited from unreserved standing tickets in the County or Queen Mother Stand overlooking the finishing post. We were as excited as our guests when their chosen horses crossed the finish line, and were able to offer some top class food and drink for those wishing to celebrate with a bottle of bubbly– or drown their sorrows.”

The Grand National is one of the world’s most famous and prestigious horse races  and ranks as one of the highlights of the entire sporting year. The race captures the imagination of millions, and consistently produces thrilling finishes as horse and rider try to conquer the mighty Aintree fences.
