Sport is a highly competitive and lucrative industry that continues to expand. This makes it a hugely profitable sector for businesses seeking to establish contracts within it.
The commercial potential within the sporting industry is now globally recognised with sport now worth over 3% of total world trade. The acceleration of the sporting industry in recent years has brought with it some fantastic opportunities for businesses. New developments in media and technology have also facilitated opportunities for businesses involved in the sporting arena to maximise the potential for commercial gain.
