This hugely popular two-day event is one of the biggest on the UK horse racing calendar and it has been sponsored and named after the global banking firm Investec for the past 12 years. Now the deal has ended, the Jockey Club is looking for a replacement to sponsor the Derby, the Coronation Cup and the Oaks before they take place again next summer.
Whichever firm takes on this role will secure the naming rights for the prestige sporting event, which usually attracts crowds in the tens of thousands. The 2020 Epsom Derby was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, taking place behind closed doors a month later than usual, but the plan is that things will return to normal next year.
Graphic Design Services in the local area are sometimes called upon to help design Posters to advertise sporting events like this.
According to Racing TV, Phil White from the Jockey Club thanked Investec for its years of sponsorship, before adding:
“We look forward to welcoming a new partner for the next chapter in the history of one of Britain’s most iconic events.”
The 2021 Derby is scheduled to be held in early June.
