KINGSMEN JOINS SINGAPORE 2010 YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMES
AS OFFICIAL EVENTS MANAGEMENT SERVICES SPONSOR
Singapore, 18 February 2010 – Kingsmen Creatives Ltd has joined the Singapore
2010 Youth Olympic Games as its Official Events Management Services Sponsor.
The company is providing consultancy services to the Singapore Youth Olympic
Games Organising Committee (SYOGOC) for venue planning sessions and
preparing the drawings, plans and detailed specifications for overlay works at the
sport competition venues as well as Culture and Education Programme sites.
Welcoming Kingsmen on board, Mr GOH Kee Nguan, Chief Executive Officer of
SYOGOC said, “The Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games is an international
multi-sport competition taking place in multiple venues. There is a need for us to
ensure quality events management through venue planning, and accurate drawing
is critical in ensuring that space usage at the venues is fully utilised. I am confident
we will benefit from the expertise and experience that Kingsmen has to offer to the
Games as the Official Events Management Services Sponsor.”
Commenting on Kingsmen’s sponsorship for the inaugural Youth Olympic Games,
Mr Benedict Soh, Executive Chairman of Kingsmen, said: “We are indeed
honoured to come onboard as a supporting partner to this milestone event. As a
home-grown company, we are committed to Singapore and its development, even
as we continue to expand our geographical reach into the region. Our sponsorship
is thus a natural step towards our continued support for Singapore and for a
worthy programme that promotes the spirit of competition, fairness and teamwork.
These same values have stood us in good stead over the past 34 years.”
