Former Open Champion Paul Lawrie Signs Sponsorship Agreement with Pentagon Freight Services PLC

Scottish golfer and former Open Champion Paul Lawrie has signed a sponsorship agreement with Pentagon Freight Services, the global services provider to the Oil & Gas and Marine sectors.

Lawrie, from Aberdeen in the North East of Scotland, has won arguably the most prestigious trophy in golf, the claret jug, following his triumph at the Open Championships in 1999. He went on to win four further events on the European Tour with victories in Spain, Qatar, Wales and Scotland, as well as representing the European Ryder Cup team in 1999.

Pentagon Freight Services, who also have a link to Aberdeen through their UK office, saw a natural crossover with Lawrie and their own company values; both have become established global players, dedicated to continuous improvement and further success and development. Director of the UK office, George Booth, is delighted to announce their partnership with Lawrie and commented: “It gives us great pleasure to announce this partnership with Paul Lawrie and align Pentagon Freight Services with one of Scotland’s great achievers on the golf course. We both have a strong connection to the North East of Scotland but Paul also competes in many of our other key markets in Europe, the United Arab Emirates and Asia.”

Lawrie was also delighted to strengthen his portfolio of sponsors and is pleased to be helping promote the services of another company from his home town of Aberdeen. He stated: “I’m delighted to start a relationship with Pentagon Freight Services, an Aberdeen based company, and I look forward to helping them with their global business.”
The agreement will see Lawrie wearing the Pentagon Freight Services corporate logo on his head-wear in the coming year.
