Bluecube has secured its first deal in Brazil: Fortaleza Stadium which is to be ready for the upcoming World Cup in 2014. Bluecube has partnered up with Nöra, a Brazilian company specialising in corporate furniture, to supply 64,000 seats for the Castelão Stadium that will host the World Cup games in the city of Fortaleza. The company is also in the bid to supply to other arenas for the World Cup and Olympic Games in Rio. In all, Brazil will require 1.3 million seats for the sports centers that will be hosting these major events.
Trade and Investment Minister Lord Green said:
“Brazil’s fast growing economy offers many opportunities for UK companies. Trade between our two nations increased by a quarter in the last two years and London’s successful summer of sport has helped to raise the profile of British companies even further.
“I congratulate Blue Cube for securing new business in Brazil. Getting more companies exporting is a crucial part of the Government’s plan for growth.”
Blue Cube have been invited by Downing Street and UK Trade & Industry to join David Cameron’s delegation to Brazil this week. Russell Plant, Managing Director of Blue Cube, is one of 58 key business leaders from UK companies joining the Prime Minister to promote the UK as a key trade partner to Brazil, the 6th fastest growing Economy in the world.
As the Official Airline Partner to London 2012, it comes as no surprise that British Airways has launched its largest ad campaign in 11 years. One of the newest ads features Bluecube’s successful Solara seat, the chosen stadium seat for the London 2012 Main Stadium and the Velodrome. We thank you British Airways!
Bluecube has partnered ESSG, Event & Stadium Suppliers Group, and will be the sole seating supplier of the consortium. “This is a significant step for us which will enable Bluecube to team up with ESSG when tendering major projects around the Globe, leveraging the group’s combined know-how, experience, creditability and skill-base” says Steve Bartlett, Sales Director at Bluecube.
