Matthew Porter has spoke about the nomination for the World Championship and is proud to have been nominated. He admits its fantastic recognition for the staff who give up their time. "I'm really proud that we’ve been nominated for this prestigious award," said Porter. "It's fantastic recognition for our hard-working staff who give up their personal and family time over Christmas to deliver a world-class event to over 65,000 fans" "With the dynamic nature of the crowd and often difficult weather conditions, it's an event that requires a huge amount of planning and execution, but the World Darts Championship is synonymous with Christmas in this country now and that wouldn't be the case if our staff didn't deliver to the high levels that they produce day-in and day-out.
