JON HOLMES MEDIA LINKS WITH BELL POTTINGER GROUP

Jon Holmes, one of Britain’s best known sports agents, is joining forces with The Bell Pottinger Group with immediate effect.

Jon Holmes Media Ltd has been established by Jon Holmes and Diana van Bunnens. It has formed an alliance with Bell Pottinger Sports and Sponsorship and will work with other companies across the group.

Jon Holmes is one of Britain's best-known sports agents. He recently parted from SFX, the business he co-founded and built into one of the highest profile companies in the sports world.

The new company, Jon Holmes Media, is now representing some 70 well-known clients – including Gary Lineker, Alan Hansen, Gabby Logan, David Gower, Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton – who together front a large proportion of sports coverage on British terrestrial and satellite television. Many of the celebrities are also regular columnists in Britain’s print media titles. Jon Holmes Media will be located in the Bell Pottinger offices in Holborn Gate, London.

BPG Chairman, Kevin Murray, said: “Jon Holmes Media will be a stand-alone business in its own right but provides great potential for us to expand our existing offer in sports & sponsorship, as well as providing tremendous scope for the rest of the group.”

Jon Holmes said: “We are delighted to be entering this co-operation with Bell Pottinger. Our business represents some of the former greats of sport, who are now among the best loved and respected sports presenters on British television.”
