Our Story
Our Story
Nirvana started business over 25 years ago delivering the travel and accommodation infrastructure around the Great North Run, the world’s biggest half marathon. Today it is a strategic partner and major supporter of some of the world’s biggest sporting events and their athletes, officials, and dignitaries. However, at its heart it is still a family business passionate about sport and travel. Over the years the company has developed a well-defined process, the “Nirvana Way”, by providing its customers with a portfolio of services to support their event. This level of service has been acclaimed by sports men and women at all levels, from world champions to the charity fun runner.
The team has a range of specialisms across travel planning, contracting, logistics, marketing, communications and IT, all focused on supporting our customers to help them achieve their sporting ambition. This long-term association with major events across the world gives us the ideal skill set and knowledge to deliver the travel and accommodation strategy for large organisations, groups as well as individuals travelling to or taking part in a sporting event or activity.
