Tullett Prebon to continue sponsoring LIBS

National Boat Shows says Tullett Prebon is to continue its sponsorship of the London International Boat Show for a further three years.


The UK-listed global inter-dealer broker (IDB), which sponsored the show for the first time last month, has committed to being the title sponsor of the next three London Shows.


‘Tullett Prebon's sponsorship of this year’s boat show was a great success,’ said Terry Smith, chief executive of Tullett Prebon. ‘We’re looking forward to increasing our involvement with this annual event and in working closely with National Boat Shows and the British Marine Federation in their development of the show.'


The events, from 2011 to 2013, will continue to be known as the Tullett Prebon London International Boat Show. The 2011 Tullett Prebon London International Boat Show will take place from January 7th to 16th.
