 Collins Stewart has been confirmed as title sponsor of the prestigious London Boat Show. One of the world's most high profile boat shows, the London Boat Show attracts over 700 exhibitors and approximately 150,000 visitors each year. It will be known as the Collins Stewart London Boat Show.
Collins Stewart is the UK's leading independent stockbroking, corporate advisory and wealth management business, with offices in London, New York, Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, Dublin and Paris.
In 2006, it was the number one raiser of finance for companies on the London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment Market (AIM) and has one of the country's broadest wealth management practices. It offers the full range of stockbroking and portfolio management services, tied to individually tailored portfolios.
The marine industry continues to go from strength to strength, often attracting high profile sponsorship and support. In recent years, it has attracted widespread interest in both a business and participation sense, as is demonstrated by Collins Stewart's investment.
Just a stone's throw from both Canary Wharf and the square mile, the annual boating spectacular held at ExCel London will allow Collins Stewart to boost awareness of their services, lend their name to the show's title and undertake promotional and hospitality activities.
James Gower, Director of Marketing Services of National Boat Shows, said: "Collins Stewart is joining the London Boat Show at a very exciting time. This year's show is undergoing a major enhancement with the introduction of educational and interactive new attractions, and we're pleased that Collins Stewart will be a part of our new show".
Commenting on the sponsorship deal, Joel Plasco, Chief Executive of Collins Stewart, added: "Boating in all its forms, whether quietly picnicking on the Thames, power boating in the Mediterranean or even the test of ocean racing in the southern hemisphere, is an embodiment of the modern vision of leisure, combining as it does the pursuit of a better work-life balance and the desire for greater challenges. As one of the UK's leading wealth managers, we are proud to sponsor the Collins Stewart London Boat Show which is both a symbol of today's vision of leisure and a chance to view and appreciate the outstanding products and equipment manufactured by the UK's marine industry".
The Collins Stewart London Boat Show will bring together the largest and most varied collection of boats in the UK as well as attracting an interesting and exciting array of boating personalities and marine experts. Boaters can check out the latest innovations and products, while boating novices can learn everything there is to know about boating, watersports and our island heritage.
The show will open daily from 5th to 14th January, 2007 from 10.00 am until 7.00 pm (6.00 pm on Sunday, 14th).
