In 2008 Nolan Partners became the Official Executive Search and Selection Partner of the Sport Industry Group.

As a part of this on-going association we are involved with the flagship events that come under the Sport Industry Group banner – The Sport Industry Breakfast, The Sport Industry Interview and the Annual Sport Industry Awards.

The Nolan Partners Sport Industry Breakfast

The Nolan Partners Sport Industry Breakfast Club has been an enormous success.  The event takes place four times a year at the Bloomberg offices in the City and brings together some of the biggest names in the sector.

The first Nolan Partners Sport Industry Breakfast Club of 2012 took place in March with Richard Scudamore, Chief Executive Officer of the Premier League and was followed in June by Mark Cavendish, 2011 Road World Champion and 2011 Sport Personality of the Year. September’s interviewee was Barbara Slater, BBC’s Director of Sport, who oversaw the BBC’s incredibly successful coverage of the 2012 Olympic Games.

The next confirmed breakfast event will take place on Tuesday 6th November where Ian Ritchie, Chief Executive Officer of the RFU will take his place in the interviewee’s chair.

In 2011 alone the event featured Barney Francis, MD of Sky Sports; Adam Silver; Deputy Commissioner and CEO of the NBA; Paul Vaughan, CEO of England Rugby 2015 and Ivan Gazidis, CEO of Arsenal Football Club.

The Sport Industry Awards

The Sport Industry Awards is Europe’s largest and most prestigious commercial sport awards. The Awards recognise and reward the best the sport business has to offer in marketing, PR, sponsorship, new media, publishing, advertising and design.

Since 2009 Nolan Partners are proud to have supported the event as sponsors of categories such as Host Governing Body in Sport and Best Sponsorship Campaign.

Nolan Partners also supports a number of other organisations including the Racehorse Owners Association (ROA) Annual Dinner and the League Managers Association (LMA) amongst others.
