I’ve been a serious player since 2007 and it’s been great but I’m ready for a change and backing BDO Events all the way to freshen things up. “For me it’s as much about playing darts with my mates on a Monday night and having a laugh, as the razzmatazz of the big tournaments. But I’m walking taller since winning the BDO World’s and very proud of that title, I’ve really turned it up a notch this year. It’s time for a new era of darts and this new major will help spice things up at the top in a really unique venue.” Our new events and opportunities • Our events will create a strong narrative to the darts season • We will deliver a TV product which is dynamic, modern and excels our events into a new era • We will invest in the brand & event experience • We will focus on our digital & social media platforms • We will secure exciting new broadcast partners © BDO Events 2013 What are we looking for? Like minded people who share our vision and want to be part of the journey Thank you!
