Tim Bloyce Memorial Cup returns this summer

The much-loved ‘Tim Bloyce Memorial Cup’, the exciting five-a-side football tournament organised in aid of our charity, is back this summer.

The tournament, which has been running since 2013, will take place at the Lucozade Powerleague Football Centre, Coventry on Sunday 6 July 2025, and The Furniture Makers’ Company looks forward to welcoming new and returning teams for what has become the industry’s premier football event. The tournament is named in memory of Tim Bloyce, a lifelong football fan and former employee of event sponsor Ocee & Four Design, who passed away from Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

Kick-off is scheduled for 1:00 pm, with the tournament starting with a group stage ensuring every team plays a minimum of three matches. Mixed gender teams from offices, factories, showrooms, or groups of friends of all abilities are warmly encouraged to enter. The top teams from the groups will progress to knockout rounds, culminating in a thrilling final. The day will conclude with a BBQ buffet and prize-giving ceremony to celebrate the winning team.

Jonny Westbrooke, CEO of The Furniture Makers’ Company, said: “Thanks to the continued support and sponsorship of Ocee & Four Design, the Tim Bloyce Memorial Cup returns for another fantastic day of football and camaraderie. Whether you want a fun team-building event, a reward for your staff, or simply bragging rights across the industry, this tournament is not to be missed.”

Entry for a team of seven costs £550 (+ VAT), including a barbecue lunch. To secure your place, please visit: https://www.furnituremakers.org.uk/events/tim-bloyce-memorial-cup-five-a-side-football-tournament-2025/
