By Fxpro, PRNEThursday, June 24, 2010
LIMASSOL, Cyprus, June 25, 2010 - FxPro Financial Services Ltd (FxPro), a leading global retail broker in
FX and CFDs today signals its strategic intent with confirmation that it will
be sponsoring English Premier League (EPL) football teams in both London and
Birmingham.
FxPro has recently signed agreements to be the main shirt sponsor for
both Fulham Football Club in London, and Aston Villa Football Club in
Birmingham.
Alistair Mackintosh, Chief Executive of Fulham Football Club commented:
"I am delighted to welcome FxPro to Fulham during a period of such success
and optimism on and off the pitch. It is always a cause for celebration when
you have an opportunity to work with a brand that shares your commitment and
vision for success. FxPro already has global presence and, partnering with a
Premier League football club, will enhance this even further. Clearly this
has additional benefits for Fulham's global reach which, following the
European success of last season and the recognition the Club received
worldwide, is something that we are extremely excited about."
Paul Faulkner, Chief Executive of Aston Villa Football Club commented:
"We are extremely pleased and excited to enter into this new partnership with
FxPro. It reflects our continued growth as a Club after a season in which we
finished sixth in the Premier League for the third straight year while twice
reaching Wembley - competing in the Carling Cup final and FA Cup semi-final.
Equally, we are pleased to confirm that Acorns will be our Official Charity
Partner and in meetings involving both FxPro and Acorns a close working
alliance has already been forged."
FxPro is committed to expanding its profile in key markets so the choice
of popular and well supported teams, in the UK's two most populous and
economically strong cities are a natural fit for the future ambitions of the
business.
Denis Sukhotin, Director of FxPro commented: "FxPro is committed to
developing the strength of our brand through sponsorship. Being the main
sponsor of two legendary football teams in two great cities is our way of
sharing success with clients and pledging support to fans. It will also
benefit the teams as we do more charitable activities within the community
and around the world. The Premier League is the world's most popular and most
watched sporting league, with an estimated worldwide following of more than a
billion people in 202 countries - so the ability to grow our brand
recognition in this way is significant."
