Fulham FC signs PIPEX as
main sponsor for next two seasons (12/08/05)
Fulham FC is
celebrating the start of the new season with Internet and communications
provider PIPEX as Official Main Team Sponsor and exclusive broadband partner
for the 2005/2006 and 2006/2007 Premiership seasons. The club officially
welcomed PIPEX at its pre-season press conference, held today at Craven
Cottage.
As the first commercial ISP and the fifth largest broadband
provider in the UK, PIPEX joins one of the most prestigious names in football,
Fulham FC, which was established in 1879. As well as running a Premier League
men’s team, the club is also home to Fulham Ladies – one of the
country’s most successful ladies teams.
PIPEX will use the
opportunity to develop new applications for its Internet based technologies to
fans of both the mens’ and ladies’ teams and raise awareness of its
services to the wider football community. The PIPEX name is emblazoned on the
famous black and white team strip, which is now also available to fans from the
Fulham shop.
Mike Read, CEO of PIPEX Internet says, “For PIPEX,
this is much more than just a shirt sponsorship deal, but provides the
opportunity to bring PIPEX’ cutting edge Internet and communications
technologies to the footballing world. What appealed to PIPEX was that Fulham
is first and foremost a family football club, which is in line with our core
values of creating secure, high quality Internet and communications services
for our customers.”
David McNally, Commercial Director at Fulham
Football Club says, “This sponsorship agreement is great news for the Club
in its direct relation to the Chairman’s vision of long term commercial
viability. PIPEX is clearly a company that shares our own values and we look
forward to developing the relationship to maximise our business potential and
support the on-field activities.”
