Aberdeen Asset Management is to extend its sponsorship of Cowes Week until 2015.
The extension represents a further two year commitment to the event and guarantees a stable financial footing for the regatta for the next four years.
Cowes Week Ltd and Aberdeen Asset Management both say they look forward to developing the competitor experience at Cowes Week during this next stage in the regatta’s evolution.
Martin Gilbert, Chief Executive of Aberdeen Asset Management said: "2011 proved to be a tremendous success. We look forward to working with Cowes Week Limited to build on this positive start and are delighted to be extending our long-term commitment through to 2015 with this first-class sporting event."
Commenting on the announcement, new Chairman of CWL, Peter Dickson, said: "I am delighted to be starting my period as Chairman on such a positive note. My predecessor, John Grandy, successfully steered the regatta through some challenging waters and I am very much looking forward to continuing his great work on the development of Cowes Week, in partnership with Aberdeen Asset Management and our family of event sponsors."
Cowes Week in 2012 takes place from the 11th to the 18th of August – later than usual in order to avoid a clash with the Olympic Games.
