For the past week, Lashings World XI Chairman David Folb has been in Abu Dhabi for a series of meetings, with the aim of forging further links between Lashings and the Middle East. He returned home today and it appears that he has some good news for us… the only problem is that he hasn’t told us exactly what it is yet!

What he has told us is that he is currently adding the final touches to a new two-year sponsorship deal that he is describing as “the most exciting in the history of Lashings” and will be announcing the details in due course, so stay tuned!
