QPR Official Site - R'S BANK ON SANTANDER
Queens Park Rangers Football Club today announced a new two-year partnership with Abbey, part of the Santander Group, who will become the Club's Official Financial Partner. The new deal will see the development of a partnership, which will provide the financial group with a bespoke programme including joint branding at Loftus Road, access to players and senior staff and the use of Club facilities throughout the year.
One important aspect will be the ability to build with QPR a new element to Abbey's Corporate and Social Responsibility activities, as well as exploring business and commercial relationships with the Football Club under a new 'Business in Sport' programme.
Nathan Bostock, CFO and Executive Director, Products and Marketing at Abbey, said: "QPR has a great ambition and we are excited to be part of it.
"We look forward to developing a business and community programme with the Club that will involve our staff and customers as well as building on our existing initiatives with schools, charities and local communities."
Amit Bhatia, Vice Chairman of QPR Holdings Ltd, added: "Today is another very important day for QPR, as we welcome one of the world's largest banks on board as our strategic financial partner.
"Abbey is part of a global banking brand that stands for success and excellence worldwide, and these are qualities that we strive to instil within our Club.
"We hope to have a long and successful partnership with them, and look forward to ushering in the new era for QPR together.
"I would like to thank the team at Abbey for their confidence in us, and I hope that before long we will achieve our dream of promotion into the Premier League with them as our partners." QPR
