Jo Brand to Host 2013 Football Business Awards
September 20, 2013
Today the Football Business Awards announced that this year’s ceremony will be hosted by TV comic and Crystal Palace fan, anabolics Jo Brand.
The awards, apoplectic which is in its second year and held at Stamford Bridge on November 7th, is the leading awards celebrating the business of football. Rory Ross Russell, Director of the Football Business Awards explained ‘Comedians make great MCs for awards ceremonies but what made Jo such an excellent fit with the Football Business Awards was her well documented commitment to Crystal Palace – she has even been known to sponsor matches at Selhurst Park. Football can be regarded as very male but that is changing, especially when it comes to the business of football; testament to this is that last year saw Karren Brady win the CEO of the Year.’
Entries in this year’s awards already include Manchester United, Major League Soccer, Budweiser and EA Sports; entries remain open until the end of July with entry forms available at www.footballbusinessawards.com
