Ocean Holidays signs West Ham deal
Ocean Holidays has signed a three-year deal to become the official travel supplier for West Ham United Football Club.
The family-run business, run by two sets of brothers, Daniel and David Ox, and Harry and George Hastings, employs more than 150 people at its head-office in central Romford.
Its brands, Ocean Florida, Ocean California and luxury division Winged Boots, specialise in tailor-made travel to destinations worldwide.
Co-chief executive Daniel Ox said: "This is a landmark partnership for Ocean Holidays, one that we are confident will allow us to take the business to the next level, proving that businesses like ours are still investing post-Brexit."
It comes as the football club prepares to move into its iconic new home stadium, previously used for the 2012 London Olympics.
West Ham United’s vice-chairman Baroness Karren Brady CBE said: "At a time when the club is growing its international portfolio, it is all the more important that we remain true to our rich heritage and so it is particularly pleasing to have joined forces with a prominent local business."
As part of the agreement, Ocean Holidays will be screening Ocean Florida’s debut TV advertisement on the new stadium’s two huge indoor digital screens, and the group has access to exclusive hospitality at home games.
The partnership also means Ocean Holidays will be offering exclusive travel deals to supporters, players and staff across social media channels, via the West Ham website, the match-day programme and the Ocean Florida site.
