Nailsea Directors join forces to launch new sports business

Two North Somerset

Directors have launched a new business to support commercial and fundraising opportunities

in the sports industry.

 

Sporting Matters is the creation of Rob Cave

and Nigel Oldfield, Directors of

Nailsea-based Publicity Matters and NOSP (Nigel

Oldfield Sports Promotions).

 

The company combines NOSP’s experience in sports event

management and sponsorship negotiation with the public relations, digital media,

design and marketing services of Publicity Matters.

 

Organisations who want to utilise sports sponsorship deals,

clubs or individuals looking for publicity support, and those who have been

awarded testimonial opportunities could all benefit from the expertise.

 

Nigel Oldfield commented: “Becoming commercially involved

with a club, launching sports initiatives or being given the chance to raise

your profile as a player are always fantastic opportunities, but ones which can

sometimes not be fully utilised because of the amount of time and resources

involved.”

 

Rob Cave continued: “Through the pooling of

skills from our two separate businesses, Sporting Matters can deliver a

complete service to plan, organise, promote and execute a successful sports

industry opportunity.”

 

Alongside the organisation and promotion of the UK’s Premier

League Snooker, broadcast live on Sky Sports, the team will draw on knowledge

gained across professional sports including cricket, super league rugby, darts

(PDC), bowls and pool.

 

Sporting

Matters have developed the website for the Kirby Lewis

Cricket Academy,

launched this week by Gloucestershire County Cricket stars Jon Lewis and Steve

Kirby. For full details visit www.kirbylewiscricket.co.uk.

 

The

Directors have also shown their support for the ‘Let’s win it for Bristol’ 2018 World Cup campaign.

They appeared with Bristol’s

Premier League Snooker ace, Judd Trump and a group of Bristol City FC stars for

a press call at the Ashton Gate stadium last week.

 

The visit

was to highlight regional sports industry support for Bristol’s

bid to be named a host city in England’s

2018 World Cup proposal.
