One of the biggest events in the city’s social and sporting calendar, the Tradition-ICAP Liverpool International Tennis Tournament, can today reveal that the city’s newest hotel will be the official event headquarters.
The Hilton Liverpool at Liverpool One will host a series of high profile events leading up to the tournament, which takes place at Calderstones Park in June.
Michelle Bennett, marketing manager of Liverpool-based Northern Vision, the event organisers, said: “I am delighted to be able to announce our partnership with Hilton Liverpool. It’s a fantastic facility, which will add another unique element for our sponsors and the tournament.”
Despite the current downturn, Northern Vision has received a steady influx of support from several major sponsors including the title sponsor, Tradition-ICAP, which has secured this deal until 2011 and Liverpool design company, PH Creative.
Emma McLoughlin, director of sales at Hilton Liverpool, said: ““We are delighted to be working with Northern Vision on the Liverpool International Tennis Tournament next year. We hope to be able to build many new relationships as we showcase our landmark hotel to the world-class players, their families and tennis enthusiasts from across both this country and abroad.
“This is a key event in Liverpool’s social and sporting calendar and one which we are delighted to be involved with in such a major way. This will certainly help to put both Liverpool and Hilton Liverpool on the local, regional, national and international map.”
