Marex enters multi-year Principal Partnership with Nottingham Forest FC
Diversified global financial services platform Marex Group Ltd today announced a multi-year Principal Partnership with Nottingham Forest Football Club, marking a major investment in one of the Premier League’s oldest clubs.
The partnership represents a significant step in Marex’s evolution from its heritage as a commodities firm, to a global financial services partner that provides market access, infrastructure services and essential liquidity to clients across global markets. It reflects Marex’s ambition to raise awareness of its broad set of capabilities through one of the world’s most followed sports.
Nottingham Forest is one of the oldest clubs in world football and one of only four English clubs to have won two or more European Cups. It recently appointed Oliver Glasner as head coach, who has a track record of building winning teams, having won both the UEFA Europa League and the UEFA Conference League.
As Principal Partner, Marex branding will feature on Forest men’s and women’s playing and replica football shirts, as well as on the dresses of the Forest netball team. Marex branding will also be prominent at the City Ground on matchdays and across all digital platforms throughout the 2026/27 season and beyond.
Marex is committed to encouraging more women to pursue careers in financial services, and its sponsorship of the women’s team is an important element of this partnership. Together, Marex and Nottingham Forest will raise awareness of career opportunities for women across the financial services industry, while also developing initiatives to improve financial literacy in the community.
Marex will be the Global Markets Partner of Nottingham Forest FC and will be the exclusive provider of foreign exchange and other financial services.
Ian Lowitt, Marex Chief Executive, commented:
“At Marex we have built our global business by developing trusted, long-term relationships with our clients and growing alongside them. Our partnership with Nottingham Forest, a team with a proud heritage and a clear determination to compete at the highest level, will introduce Marex and our broad capabilities to an even wider global audience. We are genuinely excited by the opportunity to work with Forest and support their goals, just as we support our clients in achieving theirs. High performance, ambition and teamwork unite our organizations and provide a strong foundation for this partnership. This marks an important step in Marex’s continued development, and we look forward to what we can achieve together.”
Evangelos Marinakis, Nottingham Forest Owner, added:
“We are delighted to welcome Marex as our new Front of Shirt partner. Marex is an ambitious, global business with a strong reputation for excellence and performance, and those qualities reflect our own ambitions for Nottingham Forest. This partnership is another important step in the continued growth of our Club, and we look forward to working together and building a successful relationship.”
