Spreadex CFO said
“We are delighted to be partnering with Fulham Football Club for the next two seasons and feel privileged to now become a part of the Fulham family. This is a great club with a long history and tremendous reputation, and the deal signifies Spreadex’s continued growth plans as a company.
Spreadex are entering into the spirit of things with a number of fan engagement activities across its digital channels including competitions for signed shirts. The deal continues after a challenging year for the firm. With sporting events cancelled due to the pandemic, despite an increase in online financial trading profits fell by 24% with revenue down 8%. However, with sport back on the menu it’s clearly aiming to bounce back strongly.
