Schweppes Australia Adds Fizz To Perth 2011

Perth 2011's team of beverage partners is almost complete with Schweppes Australia signing on as the official non-alcoholic beverage partner of the ISAF World Sailing Championships. Schweppes will join Leeuwin Estate and Little Creatures in making sure athletes, support teams and sponsors are supplied with World Class beverages. Schweppes will have the exclusive rights to soft drinks, energy drinks, juice and water.

Perth 2011 Director of Commercial Operations, Darren Beazley, said, "With any sporting event it is crucial to have the right partners involved. Perth 2011 undertook a national search for the right non-alcoholic beverage partner and is delighted that Schweppes has made this commitment to the World Championships. Schweppes has a fantastic range of beverages ranging from Gatorade in the sport drink segment through to Cool Ridge Spring Water. When you have over 500 000 spectators attending an Event, it's important to have a company that is able to meet the demand and Schweppes Australia is that partner."

Schweppes Australia WA Sales Manager, Michael Evans said, "We are thrilled and excited to partner with such a high profile Event. Schweppes Australia will bring fun and excitement to the Event and work with Perth 2011 to deliver world class sailing on Perth's shores."
