David Gill

Manchester United have secured a luc­rat­ive spon­sor­ship con­tract with giant logist­ics com­pany DHL the club have con­firmed. DHL were foun­ded by Adrian Dal­sey, Larry Hill­blom and Robert Lynn in San Fran­cisco back in 1969 and are a part of Deutsche Post who com­mit its expert­ise in inter­na­tional express, air and ocean freight, road and rail trans­port­a­tion, con­tract logist­ics and inter­na­tional mail ser­vices to its customers.

Accord­ing to David Gill, the logistic company´s com­mit­ment to excel­lence and high stand­ards makes them an ideal part­ner for the club. The mar­ket leader of the inter­na­tional express and logist­ics industry will under­take a wide range of logist­ics ser­vices on behalf of the club over the next three years. The deal, which has been over­seen by David Gill and Phil Couch­man, provides the oppor­tun­ity for a range of mar­ket­ing activ­it­ies and events across a num­ber of plat­forms includ­ing digital advert­ising peri­meter boards, match­day pro­gramme, web­site and events at Old Traf­ford. DHL will also work with the Manchester United Found­a­tion in the devel­op­ment of a series of pro­grammes to motiv­ate young­sters to build a bet­ter life for them­selves and improve the com­munity around them.
