PSA Introduces New Board Members by Howard Harding
12 April 2013 - The Professional Squash Association (PSA) has boosted its board with the appointment of two new directors.
Mark Phillips and Chris Hornbuckle will take up their new positions with immediate effect.
Phillips was with adidas for eight years and was integral in the
execution of the pivotal Impossible is Nothing campaign, featuring
Muhammad Ali and David Beckham. After heading up the brand's 2012
Olympic Marketing Campaign, Phillips left to form his own consulting
company, The Captaincy, providing solutions to sporting companies.
Hornbuckle is the Head of Sponsorship for Vauxhall Motors, managing the
company's sponsorship of the Home Nations' (England, Scotland, Wales
and Northern Ireland) Football teams - and brings a wealth of sports
brand marketing expertise to the board.
"I'm very excited about the appointment of Chris and Mark to the PSA
Board," said PSA Chairman Ziad Al-Turki. "After spending the past few
years working on restructuring each element of the tour, the PSA feels
that we have done all the groundwork to attract major sponsorship for
the tour.
"I'm certain that both Chris and Mark, with their extensive experience
in marketing and sponsorship, will help drive the PSA to achieve its
goals."
