Portrait of the Partner

Martin Beck-Burridge and Jeremy Walton

Chapter 6 in Sports Sponsorship and Brand Development, 2001, pp 83-89 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Prodrive story began in the in the late 1970s, when the David Richards established D R Racing, to manage the Middle East Rally Championship under a consultancy agreement with the Rothmans tobacco company. Essentially the company acted as Championship and events organizer, ensuring that the brand derived maximum exposure from the events. By the beginning of the 1980 season, David Richards’ partner Ian Parry was brought into the company to concentrate on the commercial development of the motorsport consultancy business. This was essentially developing the company’s reputation and ability in assisting partners to obtain the maximum benefit from their motorsport expenditure. An objective that has never altered, but which has certainly become more focused.
