Generali in Guernsey is proud to announce a four year sponsorship deal to support the Guernsey Island Games team. The Island Games is a popular highlight of Guernsey’s sporting calendar and, for many, taking part is the pinnacle of their sporting career.
Gavin Tradelius, Chief Executive Officer of Generali’s operations in Guernsey stated, “The Island Games is an exciting event that drives our sports people to even greater achievements - we are thrilled to be involved with the Guernsey team. The spirit of the Games and Guernsey’s team matches our own corporate drive to be the very best.” The Games also has personal significance for several Generali employees - Virginia Alcoba is on the Volleyball A team, whilst Maurice James is captain of the Table Tennis team.
Long-established in the international financial services field, Generali has had a presence in Guernsey for over three decades. The organisation, consisting of Generali Worldwide and Generali International, offers sophisticated and powerful life-insurance-based wealth management and employee benefit solutions to a global audience, including multinational organisations, international expatriates and certain local resident populations.
The organisation is already supporting several wellbeing initiatives in Guernsey, such as the Rising Stars programme and Get Active Fortnight, so this latest sponsorship deal is a logical development of their commitment to sport in the community.
The Island Games team will soon depart for the Isle of Wight games and expectations for a record medal year are high. David Inglis, Chairman of The Guernsey Island Games Association explains why they chose Generali from a list of potential sponsors: “We chose Generali Worldwide as our sponsor because they are a well established organisation with a very strong pedigree and are part of one of the largest financial service groups in the world. Also important to us is the strong synergy between the ideals of our association and their own internal values of excellence and team spirit.”
Guernsey has never been out of the top four medal winners and at the 2009 Island Games the team won 21 gold medals. The Isle of Wight Island Games start on 25th June and Guernsey is sending teams to participate in all of the 14 competing sports. |
