TSE Consulting, the specialised sports consultancy firm headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, announced today that it is furthering its international reach with the establishment of a new office to be located in Istanbul, Turkey.
This new Turkish expansion is geared towards supporting the Turkish government and national sports federations in developing long-term sports strategies and in hosting international and national sports events. TSE Consulting has already developed a solid client base in Turkey, and with the fast development of the Turkish economy and the strong sporting traditions in the country Turkey is a natural next step for TSE.
The new Turkish office will be headed by Orhan Gorbon, a Turkish based Consultant. Over the past seven years, Orhan has taken part in many significant sports development projects in Turkey, such as the Bosphorus Cup sailing in Istanbul, the EURO 2012 bid, Istanbul Sports Inc., Olympic athlete development and many others. Orhan is a key and highly respected player in the Turkish sports world and he assumes a significant role in the growing impact of Turkish sports.
Commenting on the expansion, Lars Haue-Pedersen, Managing Director of TSE Consulting, said:
“With the addition of an office in Turkey we are pleased that we will now be able to serve our existing clients in the area better and help to increase the impact of Turkish sports on the international level. Our new Turkish team, headed by Orhan, is extremely experienced and knows first hand the high level of interest and investment in sport that is present in Turkey. We are pleased to welcome the team on board and are looking forward to fulfilling our role of bringing the international sports community and Turkish sport closer together.”
Orhan Gorbon, Director of TSE Consulting Turkey, said:
“With Turkey’s continual economical growth, and the government’s increased investment and attention to sport, there is no better time than now to position Turkey on the international sports scene. My team and I are very proud and excited about joining TSE and in playing a role in furthering the international strategy of TSE. With our local experience and TSE’s international reach and contacts we truly believe that together we can find the best way to leverage the opportunities present in the Turkish market.”
