Press Release
An innovative new sports management and consultancy firm has been launched today with the creation of Fortis Sports Group (FSG).
This has been aided by the strategic acquisition of Win Sports Management and the creation of Fortis Rugby, a specialised division dedicated to supporting and advancing elite rugby players.
FSG offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of athletes, teams, and brands in today’s competitive sports landscape.
“We are thrilled to launch Fortis Sports Group and with the acquisition of Win Sports Management, we’re taking a major step in fulfilling our mission to provide athletes with unparalleled support and opportunities,” said Ian Bird, Fortis Sports Group managing director.
“Our goal is to set a new standard in athlete management, ensuring our clients’ success and well-being, on and off the field.”
The acquisition of Win Sports Management, a respected firm known for its athlete-led approach and successful track record for more than 20 years, enhances the portfolio of Fortis Sports Group and strengthens its position within the sports management industry.
This move brings experienced talent, established client relationships and an expanded network, ensuring Fortis is equipped to deliver industry leading support across multiple sports.
“All of us at Win Sports are delighted to be a part of the formation of Fortis Rugby,” said Derwyn Jones, Win Sports Management.
“These are exciting times in the sports management industry and I believe the creation of Fortis is a game changer for our clients and staff.
“Win Sports have always been a client-led agency and have managed some of the highest profile players in the rugby world.
“Those values are mirrored by Fortis, and between us, I feel we can go on to meet the unique needs of our athletes in giving them the guidance and support they deserve.
“That is from the minute they enter into their first contract, through to that uncertain time they start planning what lies ahead beyond the world of professional rugby.”
The Fortis Rugby division will focus on rugby talent representation, providing players with contract negotiations, brand partnerships, media and PR and career development support tailored specifically to the demands of the specific sport.
It will aim to champion rugby, helping players build their careers, increase visibility and maximise their impact.
“Fortis Rugby represents our dedication to nurturing talent in all sports and recognising the unique needs of each athlete,” said Bird.
“We are excited to make a positive impact in the rugby world and carry on the excellent work already done over many years by Win Sports and their directors.
“The aim is to provide players with the resources and support they need to thrive in their careers and beyond.”
With a commitment to integrity, innovation, and excellence, Fortis Sports Group is positioned to become a trusted leader in sports management, empowering athletes to achieve long-lasting success.
The company’s holistic approach signifies a powerful new direction in the sports management industry.
With further acquisitions and targets already identified, it is FSG’s intention to produce a fast-track growth structure to their plans and develop other arms of the business within football, rugby, golf and cricket in the near future.
