On Saturday 4th October 2025, the historic grounds of Ascot Racecourse set the stage for a day of elegance, sport, and world-class hospitality, as Active Digital was welcomed for a special networking event. The occasion was made even more memorable by the presence of our brand ambassador, Jade Jones OBE, who joined us during this exciting new chapter of her athletic career.
Ascot has long been a symbol of British sporting tradition and prestige and for good reason. With its rich history, exceptional facilities, and unbeatable atmosphere, it remains one of the UK’s top destinations for corporate hospitality and relationship building. For us at Active Digital, it was the perfect setting to thank our clients, strengthen connections, and share an unforgettable day at the races.
Ascot Racecourse is far more than just a racing venue; it’s an iconic British institution. Located in Berkshire and founded in 1711 by Queen Anne, Ascot has hosted some of the most prestigious events in the sporting calendar, including the world-renowned Royal Ascot meeting each June. The racecourse combines the drama of top-level flat and jump racing with the kind of luxury and service that make it ideal for corporate events. The most famous meeting is Royal Ascot, held each June and attended by members of the Royal Family, including His Majesty The King. This five-day spectacle combines world-class racing with high fashion and pageantry, making it a highlight of the British social calendar. Beyond Royal Ascot, the racecourse offers a rich calendar of events, including QIPCO British Champions Day in October—one of the most valuable race days in the UK—and popular family and themed race days that welcome thousands of spectators. The quality of the racing at Ascot is exceptional, with Group 1 races such as the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes showcasing the very best in the sport.
What makes Ascot especially valuable from a business perspective is the environment it creates. It’s a place where deals are made over fine dining, where partnerships are strengthened in stunning private boxes, and where clients can enjoy a relaxed yet premium experience. With panoramic views of the track, award-winning catering, and flawless attention to detail, Ascot delivers the kind of setting that truly enhances business relationships.
Special Guest: Jade Jones OBE
One of the highlights of the day was welcoming our inspiring brand ambassador, Jade Jones OBE, to the event. As a double Olympic gold medallist in Taekwondo, Jade is one of Britain’s most celebrated athletes. But 2025 marks a bold new chapter in her career as she makes a high-profile transition from Taekwondo to Boxing, a move that has caught the attention of the entire sporting world.
During our day Ascot, Jade talked about her motivations behind switching disciplines, and what it means to start again at the highest level of elite sport. Jade, as you might expect, is full of determination, and relentless pursuit of excellence! Her journey is inspirational, not just in sport, but in business too. Jade’s values align closely with our own: ambition, adaptability, and pushing boundaries to achieve success. As we continue to grow our business and support our brand ambassadors like Jade, we’re committed to delivering experiences that leave a lasting impression. Whether it’s the buzz of race day at Ascot or a one-on-one meeting over coffee, we know that relationships are the foundation of everything we do.
At Active Digital, we are proud to support Jade during this exciting time as she also launches her new business venture with our CEO, Richard Groves, JJ Double Gold , a cutting-edge wellness company. More on our partnership with Jade coming soon…
