Social life at Inmarsat

Here at Inmarsat, we work hard and play hard. There is an energetic group of volunteers who make up the Inmarsat Staff Association (ISA) sub-group of the Staff Forum, who are responsible for organising many events for all ISA members.

Staff party

The end-of-year staff party is usually a formal but fun affair, providing staff with an opportunity to introduce their partners to colleagues and friends across the business, whilst enjoying a sumptuous meal, in fine surroundings with a real party atmosphere.

Clubs and outings

Other ISA organised activities include a summer "family" outing, subsidised theatre trips and a range of interesting clubs. The wine tasting club is a particular favourite, offering ISA members a chance to taste a wide range of wonderful wines and champagnes from across the world.

The football club meets each Monday evening for a friendly game of five-a-side and are always on the lookout for new talent. Alternatively, you may fancy testing your poker or backgammon skills by joining the ISA games club.

Licensed bar

Inmarsat also boasts a fully licensed bar, The Slug and Satellite, which opens every Friday evening at 5:00pm and is stocked with a good selection of drinks at subsidised prices. The ISA sub-group also sponsors and organises special bar nights, such as the "Brazilian Night", "Red Nose Day" and "Halloween Night".

In-house gym

The health and fitness of all our staff is vitally important and we offer a number of facilities to work off the excesses of the week. Our free in-house gym has a full range of resistance machines, free weights and aerobic exercise machines (cycles, treadmills, step and rowing machines).

Fitness studio

In addition we have a mirrored studio with sprung floor where weekly circuit training, "bums 'n' tums", kickboxing and yoga classes take place. A number of staff have also formed a jogging group and use the relative peace and quiet of the nearby Regent Canal as their regular route.

Family membership

In addition to the in-house facilities, Inmarsat has negotiated an excellent corporate membership with Fitness First. Corporate membership rates allow access to any of the 140 Fitness First gyms around the UK at any time. Spouses, partners, friends and children over the age of 16 may also enjoy the corporate rates with Fitness First.
