The bet on the ITF Baza
«we already had with IBP in the national circuit three years betting on tennis. I decided in principle as a way to promote the brand. Then there comes a time when the brand is important but even more so is the contribution to my environment, to society«.
«It’s going to be 30 years that I’ve been in Baza here with the agency. I made a commitment to this company and this activity, but the public and the society of Baceta and its region have reciprocated a great deal. That is why when someone offers me a grant for a sporting event, be it a team or an individual, I have always wanted to be there as a thank you for the good reception my insurance and finance proposals have received.«.
The jump to the international circuit
«We are in an international event. When Manolo opens the doors for the Cid Hiaya tennis club can host important events, I give myself totally. When at first it took the step of being part of the IBP circuit, I was delighted because I considered that this was the environment in which that leap towards social recognition of the brand and a contribution by the brand towards society«.
«When we are in the IBP circuit it is Manolo the one who reveals the possibility of organizing an ITF. I personally launch myself and am excited about this new tournament«.
«I also have the passion for personal tennis, a passion of mine as an amateur. I am also federated, I am playing with the club in the Andalusian tennis league«.
relationship with the club
«I was not a member of this tennis club, I belonged to another one here in Baza. The problem is that when I start organizing sporting events in the other club with a large prize money for the players that also had the objective of helping them in their career, it begins to fall short. There comes a time when sports facilities fall short of being a social club. At that moment Manolo Navarro contacted me and offered me to be a sponsor of the General Sports Gala. As a result of that we made contact and in Cid Hiaya is committed to tennis and the future«.
«When Manolo arrives at the board and sees that I bet on tournaments with a financial endowment, he wants to continue growing. It is true that it is not for me alone, but also Western Catalan accept the challenge of being part of all the sponsorships that I accept here in Baza. Hand in hand with them, with help, with financial support from Catalana plus my own is what allows us to do important things in the city«.
«Four years ago we signed a contract with the brand in which I make a contribution of a percentage of the entire budget that comes to tennis. Manolo then sees the possibility of making an agreement between the two firms and a very interesting symbiosis is established.«.
The future of the tournament
«There is more illusion than vertigo. Together with Manolo we are two great dreamers and personally I don’t feel dizzy. I am a man of challenges. When something is put on the table and you are willing to work to achieve it, I am not afraid. I am going forward with Manolo and we will do great things«.
«I think that with this tournament a very important philosophy or collective conscience has been born, which is the vision of the business community of how good and economically positive it is for the city to bring events of any kind, but in sports Baza has a lot to say. There are a lot of fans, very good athletes and we have a long way to go«.
«If those who are committed to this way of living and creating come together in the private sector, it will be great. There will be no one to stop us, not even as a city. That’s why I say I don’t have vertigo. great things can be done«.
