Cowdray Park Polo Club is delighted to announce Boeing Business Jets as their Official Business Jet Partner in a special 3-year partnership. As the global leader for business jets for Head of State and VVIP travel, Boeing Business Jets is proud to join in partnership with Cowdray Park Polo Club and the team of esteemed partners.
Widely regarded as the Game of Kings, polo has united these two internationally known luxury brands in their joint ambition to provide the very best products and VIP customer experience. Cowdray Park Polo Club is the recognised ‘home of British polo’, boasting some of the best playing surfaces in Europe and hosting the world’s top players and ponies. Boeing Business Jets likewise provide VVIPs with the ultimate private transport in luxurious custom-tailored cabins, ideal for every need from short ventures to transoceanic travels and intercontinental journeys.
Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within Viscount Cowdray’s 16,000-acre estate in West Sussex, the game of polo has been played at Cowdray for over a century – the first competitive tournaments being recorded in 1910. The Cowdray Gold Cup Final is played against the stunning backdrop of the Cowdray Ruins, one of England’s most important early Tudor houses.
‘[Boeing Business Jets] can fly between any two destinations in the world nonstop, with everything from private staterooms with full-size showers, to chef’s galleys, steam-rooms, and fitness areas.’
In 1916, just six years after Cowdray’s historic first competitive tournament, William Boeing built the first Boeing aeroplane in the “Red Barn” in Seattle, Washington. Over the next 106 years, Boeing became the most prolific aeroplane manufacturer of all time and is now distinguished for having produced more private jets for heads of state and VVIPs than any other airplane manufacturer. Today, Boeing Business Jets continues that enduring legacy with private jets that can fly between any two destinations in the world nonstop, with everything from private staterooms with full-size showers, to chef’s galleys, steam-rooms, and fitness areas.
Andrew Swaffield, Chairman of Cowdray Park Polo Club, commented: “I’m thrilled to be partnering with Boeing Business Jets. Their dedication to excellence and unparalleled service makes us a perfect match. Our brands have a rich history, and our customers share the very highest expectations. I look forward to a successful relationship”.
Alex Fecteau, Director of Marketing for Boeing Business Jets, commented: “BBJ is honoured to partner with Cowdray Park Polo Club, and to be part of the historic tradition of British Polo. We look forward to this year’s tournament and many more to come.”
