As recession doom and gloom hits the workplace, Orange is helping save the traditional team night out by giving its business customers an extra way of keeping up team morale and rewarding staff.

To celebrate the fifth anniversary of the famous Orange Wednesdays 2-for-1 cinema tickets offer, the deal has been expanded to include a 2-for-1 offer at any PizzaExpress restaurant, any Wednesday, nationwide, making it the perfect package for a great ‘credit crunch’ team night out.

Martin Lyne, Director of small and medium business, Orange UK said, "If ever there was a time to recognise and reward the hard work of employees it’s now. Everybody is working hard, everybody is feeling the pinch and everybody deserves a little thank you now and again. Combine the Orange Wednesdays cinema offer with a quick bite to eat at PizzaExpress and you have a fun, affordable night out with staff and colleagues.”

Orange Wednesdays 2-for-1 cinema and PizzaExpress offers are open to all Orange business customers. All you need to do is simply text ‘film’ to 241 from your Orange mobile, then head to orange.co.uk/orangewednesdays to download your PizzaExpress 2-for-1 meal deal voucher - including a choice of either free garlic bread or dough balls.
