Celebrating Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games
To mark the 2022 Commonwealth Games held in Birmingham, we decided to celebrate all things relating to DB3 Sports and Leisure by bringing together facts, videos, news items, blogs and polls that reflect the incredible work that our team do. We’ve also shared some of our favourite pictures that we took of the Commonwealth Games further below.
DB3 Swimming Poll: We did a poll “How many Coca-Cola 330ml cans would fill all the swimming pools that our DB3 Sports & Leisure team have worked on. On Twitter 40% and on LinkedIn 34% of the poll participants got the right answer: it is a staggering 455,000,000 cans!
