maltatoday, SUNDAY, 25 JUNE 2017 Events 43 Brentford Football Club and LeoVegas have announced a new partnership: the West London club and the industry-leading mobile gaming company signed a two-year agreement last Mon- day that will see LeoVegas be- come the title partner of Brent- ford FC as they look to challenge for promotion to the Premier League. Award-winning mobile casino and sportsbook operator LeoVe- gas.com, will have its branding on the front of Brentford's home and away shirts for the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons, appearing on selected team training wear and being featured prominently around Griffin Park. The two-year partnership means that when Brentford's new Adidas shirts are revealed shortly ,they will feature LeoVe- gas' iconic branding. The mobile gaming company will also be displayed above the goal at the Brook Road end of Griffin Park and on the Braemar Road stand as well as on pitch side and pro- gramme advertising and at vari- ous promotional events. The deal is set to cover Brent- ford's final two years at their historic Griffin Park home be- fore a move to the Brentford Community Stadium and will start as The Bees begin their fourth consecutive season in the championship after three top- ten finishes. LeoVegas has cemented its po- sition as a world leader in the mobile gaming industry, and since summer 2016 has been growing its sport offering – with the launch of its sportsbook and growing sponsorship ros- ter, including partnerships with Leicester Tigers and profession- al golfer Mathias Schjølberg. The partnership with Brent- ford FC aims to increase its pres- ence in the football industry and make the company a household name amongst sport fans. "I'm delighted to welcome Leo- Vegas on board as a partner of the Club. We are pleased to add a rapidly growing brand like LeoVegas to an already strong commercial family that includes local, national and internation- al companies," Mark Devlin, Brentford FC chief executive, said. "During our discussions with LeoVegas, it was clear that they were a company we could work with. There was a synergy be- tween us and the benefits of the relationship appealed to all par- ties. We believe there are com- mon values we share and we look forward to working closely with LeoVegas over the next two years." "We're delighted to announce our partnership with Brentford FC. The much-loved club is, like us, ambitious and innovative - which perfectly aligns with our technological expertise and mobile first ethos," Jon Sinclair, head of LeoVegas in UK and Ire- land, said. "This partnership marks an exciting growth in our sports offering, and offers the perfect platform for us to engage with more football fans – something which is important for us to do over the coming months as we focus on the evolution of our sports betting product. "Brentford play in one of the most-watched leagues in the world and have incredibly loyal fans - we're thrilled to be at the heart of the action with them." Brentford Football Club and LeoVegas announce shirt sponsorship and title partnership The new logo of the Shoreline The Shoreline, a mixed-use devel- opment that breaks the mould for bespoke living in south of Malta, revealed its new visual identity, underpinning the ambition that will be the foundation for the unique seafront project. The Shoreline in SmartCity, Kalkara, will be home to more than 400 residences on the sea, and a 30-outlet shopping mall comprising of 18,000 square me- tres of net rentable space, and three levels of underground park- ing. The new logo takes its inspira- tion from the calm waves of the sea that will cradle its doorstep and reflects the values and vi- sions of Ricasoli Properties Ltd, a privately-funded entity oversee- ing the €145 million project. At the heart of the new corpo- rate identity is a patterned and repeated 'E' in three lines; picked from the brand name itself, The Shoreline, that symbolises the convergence of three elements that define the development: live, work, play. The visual identity was de- veloped by TBWA\ANG. The Shoreline should be making waves very soon. Simon Mamo Real Estate, one of the original real estate companies on the island, has launched a new office on Tower Road, Sliema, to serve as the new headquarters of the organisation. The business currently operates seven offices throughout Malta and Gozo and had been eyeing Tower Road for a number of years. Since Simon Mamo has been sell- ing real estate for a number of years and the company felt the need to open an office in the one of the most sought after areas for property on the island. The newly done up office is 180 square metres and is divided into letting and sales departments. The sales department is being managed by Romulus Felnecan, who has over five years experience in his field in Malta and overseas whilst Gilbert Vassallo is heading the letting division. Simon Mamo has been increas- ing its market share year on year for three years running, now being among the top 10 real estate compa- nies for the num- ber of sales in Malta and Gozo. This has come about due to the launch of its new website, offering the best com- mission rates to its team on the island and the professional training it offer to its real estate agents. The company has recently re- structured its operations, due to an ever increasing number of person- nel, and created a human resources department, which is run by Ber- nice Muscat. Jerome Mamo is handling the marketing of the company, working closely with one of Malta's top mar- keting agencies. Hugo Mamo is leading the office in Valletta and Marcus Mamo is head of the letting division in the of- fice in Naxxar. Together, the Mamo brothers are on the board of directors along with Simon, the founding member of the organisation, and Samuel Ma- mo, who is working in the Valletta branch. Regardless of the company's rapid growth as one of the main players in the industry, Simon Mamo Real Estate is sticking to its style of being a family run business and offering a very personalised service to its cus- tomers. Simon Mamo Real Estate inaugurates new HQ in Sliema Nectar shares its distribution expertise with university students Nectar, based at Ta' Qali, opened up its doors to a group of Univer- sity of Malta students who were on a mission to unravel the complexi- ties of resource planning at large scale food and beverage distribution companies. The second-year mechanical engi- neering students had to investigate best practices in the manufactur- ing resource planning (MRP) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) for their grades. Nectar's footprint across Malta and Gozo and its re- cent implementation of the latest ERP solution, by Microsoft Dynam- ics AX, made the company a natural choice for students to study. "Products from Nectar's portfo- lio are stocked in over 3,100 retail spaces and this poses numerous challenges in the area of food safety, regulatory directives, and customer demands. This, coupled with Nec- tar's more than 25 years of expertise, made it an ideal business for the stu- dents to study. We are committed to supporting social and educational learning for a better society," Nectar general manager Andrea Agius said. "Our assignment was a challeng- ing one but the enthusiasm of Nec- tar staff made it a fruitful experience for us. As Nectar was transitioning to the latest ERP solution, we could ask questions, understand the dif- ferences, and overall add more value to our learning. We managed more than what we had hoped for," stu- dent Jennies Mallia said. Established in 1991, Nectar has one of the largest sales forces in Malta with 50 sales personnel, rep- resenting over 50 renowned brands spread over six sales divisions. Its extensive portfolio of food, bever- age and confectionery products is widely stocked in all leading super- markets, hotels, restaurants, bars, canteens, groceries, pharmacies and health shops , apart from other outlets. In recent years, ISO certi- fied Nectar won awards for equality, learning and development, perfor- mance orientation, technology, job satisfaction, and health and safety.
