BALFOUR INTERNATIONAL GROUP

LAUSANNE, Switzerland – October 25, 2005 – Balfour International Group are pleased to announce that they will be teaming up with Idea Marketing to bring their latest state of the art LED technology to the F1 World Powerboat Championships this year for the Middle East leg of the 2005 tour.

The project will begin in Qatar this November, and will then move on to Abu Dhabi, culminating in Sharjah in mid December for the final leg of the 2005 tour.

Balfour International Group plan to support the F1 Championships by placing a giant high resolution LED screen in full view of the grandstand so that the huge audience attending the race are able to view the action at close range.

The PR objectives for this collaboration are to deliver a much needed visual solution for this fast paced and exciting sport.

David Lubin, Commercial Director of Balfour International Group says that he has high hopes for this alliance:

‘We are very excited at the prospect of this partnership, we are looking forward to bringing our latest technology to this rapidly growing sport, I’m confident that this will be the beginning of a very successful collaboration.’
