Laurent-Perrier
Guards Polo Club and the champagne house have announced a three-year partnership.
Laurent-Perrier is now the official champagne of the polo club, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.
The champagne house, which was founded in 1812, has previously sponsored the Inter Regimental and the Captains and Subalterns Tournaments in the 1980s.
Neil Hobday, the polo club’s chief executive, said: “With a packed season ahead of us, including this weekend’s Cartier Queen’s Cup Final, there will be plenty of reasons to open a bottle of Laurent-Perrier Brut, Rosé, or Grand Siecle and celebrate.”
Charles Owen & Co
The hat manufacturer is to return to BETA International as a sponsor of the Horse Demonstration and Seminar Arena.
For the fourth year in a row, the company will host the Charles Owen Learning Centre in 2016.
It will have live action product displays and retailer information sessions across the three-day show, which is held at the NEC in Birmingham from 24-26 January.
Charles Owen’s managing director Roy Burek said the trade fair is very special to them and they look forward to supporting it for years to come.
He added: “Charles Owen’s focus has always been on education and sponsoring this feature certainly provides us with a way to help retailers develop their business and become increasingly profitable.”

Sheikh Hamad Bin Abdullah Al Thani, chief executive of QIPCO, said they are proud to support British racing and its heritage.
