Rugby World Cup 2011 kicks off with a little help from DHL, as one young boy’s dreams are made…

Teenager Elliot Webster was the envy of Rugby fans around the world last Friday when he was given the once-in-a-lifetime chance to present the match ball for the opening match of Rugby World Cup 2011.

Elliot, from Shepperton in Surrey, was handed the honour of delivering the match ball for the New Zealand vs Tonga fixture after being specially selected from thousands of youngsters around the world by DHL, the Official Logistics Partner of Rugby World Cup 2011.

We asked employees to nominate inspiring young people for the chance to be part of this historic sporting occasion. Elliot’s mother put him forward for all the incredible work he had done in caring for his father, who very sadly passed away 18 months ago, after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Diseases.

Speaking to us before heading out to New Zealand, Elliot, a massive Rugby fan, captain of his school rugby team and regular winger at Esher Rugby Club, was giddy with excitement at the prospect of handing over the match ball. “It still hasn’t sunk in if I’m honest. The whole experience will be amazing – something I’ll never forget. I’m obviously an England fan, but getting the chance to meet the All Blacks – especially Dan Carter – will be fantastic,” he said.

Phil Couchman, CEO of DHL Express UK & Ireland said DHL were thrilled to make Elliot’s dream come true: “We were delighted to give Elliot this opportunity. It’s an experience he will hopefully remember and cherish for the rest of his life.”

DHL is the Official Logistics Partner of Rugby World Cup 2011 – delivering Rugby to the world…

Ahead of the Rugby World Cup 2011,  DHL and local youngsters received a few tips from England star, Mark Cueto

With just over a month to go until the big kick-off of Rugby World Cup 2011, preparations are well under way for England’s first game against Argentina on September 10th.

As the tournament’s Official Logistics Partner, DHL will be heading to New Zealand in top form, ensuring transportation of all 19 teams and key equipment throughout the competition.

That said, it’s never to late to learn a few new tricks from the experts, so we invited Sale Sharks and England winger, Mark Cueto, to visit us at our East Midlands Airport hub and give us a few tips.

England star Cueto, an ambassador for DHL in the lead-up to World Cup 2011, visited our hub last week to meet a group of lucky local youngsters.

The day represented a fantastic culmination of DHL preparations ahead of the England team’s departure for New Zealand, with local children excited to meet their hero. “I couldn’t believe I got to meet Mark. He’s an amazing player! I was so excited – I can’t wait to tell my friends and show them my autographed rugby ball,” said 15-year-old, Max Adams.

The England winger tackled a Q&A grilling from the children – aged between four and 15 – before taking part in an autograph session.

“The kids were extremely knowledgeable about rugby and weren’t afraid to ask me some really tricky questions! It’s great to see young people so enthusiastic about the game. Hopefully, if they continue to work hard, we’ll see some Rugby World Cup stars of the future,” Cueto commented.

In our role as Official Logistics Partner, we’ll deliver over 100 tonnes of equipment, with our fleet covering around 30,000km, in the lead up and during the tournament. What’s more, fans can trust their tickets are in safe hands: from the opening match to the final, we’ll distribute 1.6 millions tickets to fans worldwide.

Phil Couchman, CEO of DHL Express UK & Ireland, commented: “We’re delighted to have been able to offer local children the opportunity to meet their hero. The children were thrilled to meet Mark, and interested to find how DHL will be delivering rugby to the world.”
