TW Steel Official Watch Partner to Autosport Awards

Amsterdam, The Netherlands November 24, 2008: TW Steel is delighted to announce that it will be the ‘Official Watch Partner’ to the 2008 Autosport Awards, being held on Sunday 7th December in London, England.

Autosport is the world’s foremost weekly motorsport publication with a global readership and an unrivalled standing within the industry. Each December Autosport brings together the most influential personalities and decision makers in motorsport to the Grosvenor House Hotel in London’s Park Lane to celebrate outstanding personal and team achievements from the past season in the form of the Autosport Awards, the evening’s events broadcast on Sky TV.

The awards themselves are voted for by readers of Autosport magazine and reflect both the breadth and depth of Autosport’s coverage – the highlight being the McLaren Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award, previous recipients including David Coulthard, Dario Franchitti and Jenson Button.

As ‘Official Watch Partner’ TW Steel will supply the winner of this season’s McLaren Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year with an exclusively engraved watch – to be presented to the recipient on stage before the assembled audience of key motorsport personnel.

Guests on the night will be greeted in the courtyard of the Grosvenor House Hotel by a TW Steel branded A1GP World Cup of Motorsport car – TW Steel currently the ‘Official Watch and Timing Partner’ to the nation versus nation championship. In addition, TW Steel will enjoy prominent branding on the Autosport Awards stage – the evening hosted by ITV’s Formula One presenter, Steve Rider.

“I’m really excited for TW Steel to be involved in such a prestigious evening,” commented TW Steel Managing Director, Jordy Cobelens. “The Autosport Awards have set the benchmark for the motorsport industry and we were already aware how big and successful an occasion the evening is through our partnership with A1GP. We view our association as ‘Official Watch Partner’ to the Autosport Awards as a great opportunity for promoting our commitment to motorsport as a key brand platform for TW Steel.”
