HiltonHILTON SUPPORTS SQUASH IN THE CITY

Leading premier hotel chain, Hilton UK & Ireland, has lent its support to one of squash’s most prestigious events – the Bank of Scotland Investment Service Super Series Squash Finals – in order to target the corporate sector. The tournament will feature the world’s top 8 squash players competing at the Broadgate Arena in the heart of the City of London for a prize fund of US$50,000.

The Langham Hilton and the London Hilton will provide accommodation for the players and officials, allowing them to relax and enjoy the prestigious facilities offered by both five star properties.

The event will be broadcast across the globe to a potential audience of over 120 million homes, including Sky Sports, MNET, Fox Sports, and Star TV, showcasing London’s capacity to host premier sporting events.

Rosemary Shill, VP of Business Development of Hilton UK & Ireland, comments: “We are very excited to be associated with a great sporting event, the profile of our clients is an ideal fit for an event of this prestige, and of course with such great leisure facilities at both hotels, the players can recuperate after the games.”

Satinda Bajwa, of Tournament Promoters WSM, adds: “To have a brand such as Hilton associated with squash is terrific. The hotels are fantastic and both properties provide the perfect environment to house the players.”

The tournament takes place from 17-21 June and is the last event before the Commonwealth Games. England’s world number one and recent British Open champion Peter Nicol will be looking to record an unprecedented fourth straight victory in the event. Standing in his way are Australians David Palmer, Stewart Boswell, Canada’s former world number one Jonathon Power, and defending Commonwealth doubles champion Mark Chaloner.
