What is this Sportotal thing? Company is registered at a 2 up, 2 down in some back road in Bury and, last year, the total sum of creditors was £107k, presumably 90% of which is the BDO contract. Guessing the other 10% was commercial advice to Bury FC.

Sportotal is a wholly legitimate outfit. It’s business activities are still listed as ‘Other Human Health Activities’, and hasn’t changed since the company changed its name from Homephysio Limited.

Undoubtedly a very impressive setup. 😂

Having exclusively acted for The BDO in the appointment of Channel 4 as the broadcast partner for the 2017 and 2018 BDO Lakeside World Professional Darts Championships, Sportotal and the BDO have now entered a multi-year partnership to devise and implement a long term commercial strategy for the BDO at every level and sphere of activity.

Sportotal’s global remit includes the management of all other commercial partnerships, the creation and implementation of a strategic commercial strategy across audio-visual, sponsorship, licensing, digital media, data, and all other commercial activities.

Stephen Holland, Co-Founder and Director of Sportotal said: “Having previously represented elements of the BDO’s business, we are delighted that, for the first time, we will act across all their commercial interests. This will give us the opportunity to oversee the structure of the event
schedule best equipped to deliver the optimum commercial programme over a number of years.”


Sue Williams, Chairperson of the BDO said: “For some time, we have been looking for the right partner to advise us across our entire commercial portfolio in a cohesive way. We have been impressed with the results Sportotal have achieved for us in the past and their approach for the future. We are looking forward to working with them to grow our fan base, commercial programme and number of partners of stature, to drive the BDO forward.”

A sobering thought for any top BDO players who will still be in the system come Monday morning....Des Jacklin is now responsible for renegotiating the Eurosport contact when it ends next year.

May the Lord have mercy on your souls.

"Stephen Holland - Director

In 2011 Stephen advised Merlin Entertainments Ltd following its new acquisition of the Blackpool Tower Complex. As Business Development Manager he restructured the Tower’s corporate offering and attracted significant numbers to both the Tower and the town of Blackpool, including the return of the iconic BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing series to the Blackpool Tower Ballroom.

In 2013 Stephen became the Commercial Director of BDO Events Ltd, the British Darts Organisation’s exclusive commercial rights partner, and was responsible for broadcast, sponsorship, licencing, event creation and management. Stephen was instrumental in developing a long term major new multi-event strategy including event directing the BDO World Trophy 2014 and 2015. He also brought together 17 international darts associations and promoters in representation deals allowing the creation of a multi territory multi event broadcasting contract with Eurosport.

Stephen co-founded Sportotal Ltd in October 2015, with the acquisition of a number of rights assets from BDO Events.

Stephen is also the co-founder of Fever Dance Company with 12 years success in delivering dance expertise across all ages and disciplines"

He is responsible for the gradual downfall of the BDO not Des :grin:

I wonder if Sue got money from the "acquisition" of assets from BDO events?
