SHOW INFORMATION
17th June 2008
NEW SPONSORSHIP DEAL FOR BELFAST
Belfast Dog Show Society is pleased to announce that Clinivet, a Northern Ireland based company, will be the principal sponsor for our All Breed Championship Show to be held on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th September 2008 at the Kings Hall Complex, Belfast.
At a meeting held at the Kings Hall on Monday representatives from Clinivet met with Officials from Belfast Dog Show Society to tour the venue and view plans for the Championship Show in September.
The President, Mr Ian Wilson stated “This is great news for Belfast Dog Show Society and Clinivet. It is a new partnership, which will further promote and enhance the 2008 championship show.
It certainly indicates that dogdom across Northern Ireland is attracting great support and I think that all of our members will be delighted with our new sponsorship deal”. Mr Wilson continued by saying
“I believe that exhibitors and spectators who visit Belfast Dog Show Society Championship show will enjoy the new experience on offer with this year’s new sponsor.
From day one of our discussions, Clinivet have been so enthusiastic and forward thinking about the future. It will be a pleasure to work with them.”
Louise Corr, Managing Director of Clinivet said 'Over the past number of years Clinivet have been developing its brand awareness through taking a stand at the Belfast Championship Dog Show. However, this year we have decided to strengthen this relationship with the Belfast Dog show by becoming their main sponsor, as Clinivet is a locally owned brand, we believe that this move would benefit both parties and bring a little bit more of a home feel to it all. We wish Belfast Championship show all the best with this event and Clinivet will endeavour to make this show even better than previous years.'
