Citigold Wealth Management Named Lead Partner for Canary Wharf Squash
Classic Tournament
Eventis
Sports Marketing has announced its partnership with Citigold Wealth
Management, for its 2019 Canary Wharf Squash Classic tournament, held in
Canary Wharf. The tournament will now be known as the Citigold Wealth
Management Canary Wharf Squash Classic and is the second largest PSA
Tour event in Europe, after the British Open. Earlier this year became
it became the first ranking PSA Tour event to use a best-of-three
scoring format, with Egypt’s World No.1 Mohamed ElShorbagy (right)
taking the honours.
Citi’s partnership with
the tournament organisers will kick off at this year’s popular Corporate
Challenge, an event that hosts teams formed by Canary Wharf occupants,
who battle it out in the hope to be named best corporate squash team in
London. Held in October, this year, the corporate challenge will be
rebranded the Citigold Wealth Management Corporate Challenge. The
event will be held at London’s iconic East Wintergarden.
"We are thrilled to
welcome Citigold Wealth Management on board as title partner of the
event and look forward to working with them. We have been searching for
a title partner that fits with the events premium status and ideally is
a tenant at Canary Wharf, so are very excited to have been able to
achieve this with Citi’s involvement," said Tournament Director Tim
Garner, of Eventis Sports Marketing. "Citigold Wealth Management is one
of the most prominent wealth management organisations in London, and we
are pleased to be able to add them to our extensive portfolio of
sponsors.”
Salman Haider, Head of
UK Consumer Bank and International Personal Bank EMEA, Citi, commented:
“We are pleased to be the title sponsor of the 2019 Canary Wharf Squash
Classic tournament. It is great to support such a prestigious event and
one that is held right on the doorstep of our Citigold lounge in Canary
Wharf”.
Since inception, the
Canary Wharf Squash Classic has always had very close links with Canary
Wharf Group. Lucie Moore, Head of Arts+Events comments, “Canary Wharf
Group has supported the Squash Classic for over 15 years and we have
seen it develop into the PSA World Tour event that it is today. We are
delighted to have the event secured for an additional three years as it
forms a key highlight in our varied arts and events programme. We look
forward to welcoming Citigold Wealth Management, one of our longstanding
tenants, as the title partner and kicking off the 2019 Corporate
Challenge, in our iconic East Wintergarden.”
The Corporate Challenge
was first held in 1983 under the name ‘The Square Mile Squash
Competition’ and has become a staple of the Canary Wharf Squash Classic,
hosting some of London’s most influential corporations. The 2018 edition
was won by Aviva Investors, who defeated OC&C Strategy Consultants in
the final.
Garner further
commented, "The Corporate Challenge has been an intrinsic part of the
Canary Wharf Squash Classic for a number of years and we are looking
forward to activating the partnership with the latest instalment of the
event."
The 2019 instalment of
the Citigold Wealth Management Canary Wharf Squash Classic will see the
tournament celebrate its 16th edition and it will again be
staged at the East Wintergarden in March, 2019.
Live action from the
tournament will be broadcast live on SQUASHTV (Rest of World) and
Eurosport Player (Europe only), while mainstream channels across the
globe will show coverage of the semi-finals and final, including BT
Sport, beIN Sports, Fox Sports Australia, Astro and more.
