Pump up the football

15 November 2022

The FIFA World Cup kicking off this Sunday will be like no other as it takes place during the winter to reflect the desert climate of host nation Qatar. 

The unusual timing, however, is perfect for Obart Pumps because hirers, contractors and customers will likely be thinking about extreme weather of a different kind, including floods and dealing with the aftermath of frozen pipes. 

The company is offering a free World Cup wallchart to anyone who contacts it, on which they can log the results – especially, perhaps, those of home nations England and Wales who have ironically been drawn in the same group. 

“Anyone can request a wallchart and no purchase is necessary,” Pete McMutrie, Obart’s sales director tells me. “We’ve never had a World Cup during the pump season before and probably never will again, so it couldn’t be more relevant to Obart.

“Around the edges of the wallchart, we have also included facts about our range of Tsurumi pumps and what makes them so reliable for hire industry users. 

“And there’s a QR code that people can scan and then submit a picture of the chart on their wall, together with their contact details, any time during the tournament. They’ll be entered into a prize draw taking place on 19 December, the day after the Final, and the winner will receive a £100 Amazon voucher in time for Christmas.” 

Obart is also sending out wallcharts to customers with deliveries. To get yours click here.
