Staff meet Eusebio and Ruud Gullit following deal to broker for football event organisers Soccerex
Lockton staff recently met World Cup legends including Carlos Alberto Torres, Eusebio and Ruud Gullit, following a deal earlier this year to become brokers to football event organisation company Soccerex.
Lockton met the stars at the Soccerex convention, recently held in South Africa. Lockton signed up as insurance partner to Soccerex four months ago.
Lockton Chairman Mike Hammond said: “Lockton is very much taking a leadership position in its capacity as sole global insurance partner with Soccerex, as our experience at the convention proves. Lockton had tremendous global exposure appearing on the main evening news across all 4 continents including the BBC in the UK.
“As the world’s largest independent insurance broker Lockton now competes for business with the biggest players in the insurance broking market, confident that our ability and teamwork can be a winning combination for clients.”
The next 2010 Soccerex Forum will be held in Manchester at the Conference Centre on the 2nd and 3rd March, with a further forum taking place in Singapore in July 2010 and the main convention being held in Rio de Janeiro in November 2010.
Lockton’s team in South Africa included: Larry Spurgeon, Michael Owen, Stephen Akers, Chris Brown, Paul Jack and Sarah Horler.
