The firm works on an international basis with clients that range from world famous sporting clubs, governing bodies, professional leagues, venues, agencies, broadcasters and the major corporate organisations involved in sport. Nolan Partners have a proven track record of not only identifying talent from within the industry, but also of bringing talent from the wider commercial world into senior business roles in sport.

Nolan Partners operate on a global basis, including extensive work in the Middle-East, where they have successfully conducted several searches for senior executives for prestigious sporting organisations. Therefore, they are a perfect match for the ‘Driving sport in the Middle East’ discussion at the Directors’ Club.
