About The Derby Business Games
Our Founder - Will Evans
Derby Business Games is the brainchild of Will Evans, whose career in sport and events has always centred around bringing people together.
More than just a day of races and rounders, Will’s vision was to create something that blends fun, nostalgia, and genuine connection – a space where Derby’s business community could meet on a level playing field (literally), and enjoy doing good while having a great time.
From the first event in 2016 to its revival in 2024, Will’s energy and passion have made Derby Business Games what it is today – inclusive, joyful, and always community-first.
