The Club Management Association of Europe (CMAE) is delighted to announce that Consultiv Utilities has upgraded its partnership with the Association, becoming a Premier Partner following a highly successful first year of collaboration.
Since joining the CMAE family as a Corporate Partner, Consultiv Utilities has demonstrated a strong commitment to supporting the professional development of club managers across Europe. The company’s team has been actively involved in CMAE educational events throughout the UK and online, sharing expertise and engaging with club management professionals at every opportunity.
The enhanced Premier Partnership represents a significant investment in the future of club management education. As part of the agreement, Consultiv Utilities will become the sponsor of the CMAE European Conference Gala Dinner, taking place in St Andrews in October 2026, while also providing additional support to the European Club Education Foundation (ECEF) through a dedicated bursary designed to benefit the next generation of club management professionals.
Craig Cotterill, Commercial Director at CMAE, said:
“Consultiv Utilities have been an outstanding corporate partner over the past 12 months, consistently demonstrating their commitment to strengthening club education across our network. Their team has been ever-present at CMAE events throughout the UK and online, contributing insight, energy and genuine support for the professional development of club managers.
We are delighted that, following a highly successful first year, Consultiv are deepening their involvement by becoming a Premier Partner of the Association. This enhanced agreement will also see them take on the role of sponsor for the CMAE European Conference Gala Dinner in St Andrews in October 2026, as well as providing additional support to the ECEF through a dedicated bursary that will directly benefit future club leaders.
This expanded partnership reflects the strength of our collaboration to date and opens the door to even greater impact in the years ahead. We look forward to continuing our work together to elevate education, opportunity and excellence across the club management profession.”
Consultiv Utilities Business Development Manager, Paul Davidson, said:
“Our first year working with CMAE has exceeded all expectations. We’ve had the opportunity to engage and support passionate club management professionals across Europe and have seen first-hand the incredible work CMAE does to raise standards through education and professional development. Becoming a Premier Partner is a natural next step for us and reflects our commitment to supporting the industry for the long term. We’re especially proud to sponsor the European Conference Gala Dinner and to contribute to the ECEF bursary, helping invest in the future leaders of club management. We look forward to continuing to work alongside CMAE to deliver meaningful value to its members and the clubs they serve.”
The new Premier Partnership reinforces CMAE’s commitment to working with organisations that share its vision of supporting club management through education, innovation and professional excellence. By expanding its investment in the Association and its members, Consultiv Utilities will play an even greater role in helping clubs navigate the challenges of energy management and sustainability while supporting the continued development of club management professionals across Europe.
CMAE looks forward to building on the success of the partnership and working closely with Consultiv Utilities to deliver lasting value for members, clubs and the wider industry.
