Richard Kenyon, Chief Commercial and Communications Officer, Everton FC, commented:
“This is an exciting deal for Everton as we look forward to our move to our new stadium. This is the third Founding Partner we have announced this summer and represents an innovative collaboration which will provide a range of benefits not only to Christopher Ward and the Club but directly to our supporters in some of the premium spaces in our new home. The development of Christopher Ward’s Northern Hub within the venue is unique and demonstrates how Everton Stadium can be used by our partners to support their brand and commercial growth ambitions. We’ve been on such a fantastic journey with Mike France and his colleagues over recent years and I’d like to thank him and my team, particularly Mark Rollings our Partnership Director, for developing such an innovative concept.“
Mike France, CEO and Co-Founder, Christopher Ward, added:
“Becoming a Founding Partner of Everton Stadium represents a new high-water mark for the Christopher Ward brand, especially as the result of our partnership will be a unique, world-first experience for fans of both Everton and Christopher Ward. I’m not aware of a more exciting, innovative project that combines the worlds of premium watchmaking and elite sport. I can’t wait to invite our first guests in less than a year’s time.“
