The first ever Fulham FC Business Club event was hosted by Fiat’s flagship dealer group Motor Village last Thursday, as part of its role as official car partner to the football club.

Company directors, business leaders, journalists and professional football players were among the 80 guests in attendance at the groups’ Marylebone site in London’s Wigmore Street.

Fulham FC chief executive officer Alistair Mackintosh and first team players Matt Smith, Tim Hoogland and Thomas Eisfeld were among the guests listening to presentations from speakers Tony Dittli, managing director Motor Village, Kit Symons, Fulham FC’s acting first team manager and former Fulham player and now club ambassador Les Strong.

Tony Dittli said: “The evening was a wonderful success for Motor Village and for Fulham FC.

“In a convivial atmosphere our customers, and the football club’s sponsors and business associates, were able to meet, relax and view some of our fabulous new cars while enjoying refreshments and an entertaining presentation from our guests.

“The showroom is an ideal venue for events such as these, and I am sure that we will link up with Fulham FC in the future for more occasions, to bring undoubted mutual benefits.”

Alistair Mackintosh said: “We would like to thank our official car partner Motor Village for helping us put this event together; the event is all about providing added value through quality networking opportunities to our partners, corporate clients and friends of Fulham and tonight was a great illustration.”
