JAKARTA – In line with efforts to continuously develop youth through the spirit of sports, particularly football in Indonesia, the British Chamber (“BritCham”) along with PT Bank Permata Tbk (“PermataBank”) present Ian Rush, a legendary football player from Liverpool Football Club, England. Ian Rush will be in Jakarta from May 14 to 17, 2010 as informed by Chris P. Wren – Britcham Executive Director accompanied by David Fletcher – President Director of PermataBank in a joint press conference in Jakarta on May 4, 2010.
Football is the sport of choice in these events since it is very popular in Indonesia, well-liked by all age segments. Therefore a series of events has been prepared for Ian Rush’s visit in Jakarta, including football coaching clinics, which will be attended by approximately 1,500 junior high school pupils from 112 schools around poorer, rural areas of West Java as well as selected PermataBank customers, a gathering with the Liverpool fans in Indonesia (BIGREDS Indonesia), and an appreciation night to be attended by Permata Priority Banking customers. A CSR Program under the care of PermataBank Peduli is also scheduled.
David Fletcher, President Director PermataBank remarks, "In line with continuously meeting the needs of our customers and looking to serve the communities in which we operate, we are delighted to be bringing Ian Rush, a true football legend, to Jakarta. This will be an interesting and memorable experience both for the children at the football coaching clinics, and for our customers. Hard work and dedication in sport, as exemplified by Ian, is a source of inspiration for all".
Meanwhile, Chris P. Wren, Executive Director of Britcham says, "Three years ago, we established our community portfolio ‘Giving Kids a Sporting Chance’. In those years our efforts to use sport as a medium for youth and leadership development is proof that British business values its long-standing, strong and cooperative relationships with Indonesia. We believe that the visit of an icon of international football will provide us with an opportunity to showcase some very positive perspectives of life in Indonesia and that Ian will convey that optimism back in the UK”.
Lauren Sulistiawati, Director of Retail Banking PermataBank adds, "In line with customer centric business model to continuously meet the needs of customers, we aim to provide a valuable experience for our customers. Family is one important aspect that we take into consideration in designing these events. We hope these will be a unique and memorable experience and further boost our customers loyalty".
Ian Rush’s visit to Indonesia has been much anticipated by football fans in Indonesia. His interactions during his upcoming visit, especially with children and teenagers footballers, will surely inspire them to become the next world class football players.
