Ricoh Arena

The unique development also has some of the finest transport links in the country meaning it is an attractive and easily accessible location no matter where you are in the country.

The Ricoh Arena is run and managed by Arena Coventry Ltd, a joint venture company consisting of Coventry City Council and the Alan Edward Higgs Charity.

The Ricoh has acted as a catalyst for regeneration in the north of the city and forms an important part of the city council's bigger plan to rejuvenate the entire area.

The Alan Edward Higgs Charity is a charitable foundation that helps benefit the people of Coventry and Warwickshire through grant-making activities and makes an enormous difference to the lives of many people.

Arena Coventry Ltd was formed in August 2002 and had successfully co-ordinated and delivered the scheme in three years - including an 18-month build programme.

As well as delivering a unique package, the Ricoh Arena is also distinctive in the way it works with numerous partners such as Coventry City Council, the Alan Edward Higgs Charity, Advantage West Midlands and the European Regional Development Fund along with sponsors Ricoh, Telent, Jewson, Coventry Telegraph, Jaguar, E.ON and Yorkshire Bank as well as tenants Coventry City Football Club and Coventry Sports Trust.
