Brands Hatch Circuits Limited announced as new name for Octagon Motorsports UK

25 April 2003

Brands Hatch Circuits Limited was today announced as the new name for Octagon Motorsports UK, a division of the global sports and event marketing company Octagon Group. The group has controlled five of the major motorsport venues in the UK since 2000 - The former Brands Hatch Leisure Group comprising Snetterton, Outlon Park, Cadwell Park and Brands Hatch, plus Silverstone.

The change is being made to eliminate confusion and differentiate the division from other areas of sports marketing covered so successfully by the Octagon Group. The Octagon Group offers worldwide expertise across eight major sports and event marketing disciplines: athlete representation, event management, consultancy, property representation, TV rights sales and distribution, TV production and archive, interactive and licensing and merchandising. Brands Hatch Circuits Limited focuses purely on motorsport.

The company is keen to confirm that the change of name will not alter the fact that all individual circuits within the group will continue to operate under their own identities.
Managing Director of Brands Hatch Circuits Limited, Andrew Waller, welcomes the change of identity: “The Brands Hatch name is synonymous with British Motorsport. This decision presents an opportunity to demarcate the different offerings of the Octagon Group and the division now named Brands Hatch Circuits Limited.”
