About Us
At MMG Sports Ltd we’ve played an active role in sport at all levels for almost 30 years. Whilst the majority of services and support are offered directly via our managing director Mick Hogan, we also have a team of impressive partners we can call on. Whether it’s specific commercial support, community sport, brand development or financial insight we’re lucky that we know the best in the business.
So whatever support you need, we have the team to make it happen. Here’s what a few industry voices have said about MMG Sports and Mick Hogan.
I have known Mick for more than 30 years as a friend, colleague, and teammate. He is hugely experienced, incredibly well respected amongst peers and has a vast network. Mick has added immense value to the wider team displaying calmness, offering relevant insight and is a high calibre problem solver. It is a privilege to work alongside him.
Mick’s previous experience in the process to allocate cities Rugby World Cup status in 2015 proved invaluable to the ECB Host Venue Panel. Together with Mick’s unquestionable commitment to whatever he undertakes allows me to recommend his services to potential clients. You won’t be disappointed.
I have known Mick Hogan now for over 20 years. He consistently makes and executes timely and effective decisions to ensure those around him respect his professional prowess, as well as like him. To sum up Mick is a talented and driven individual who consistently delivers superb contributions to his chosen focus at any given time.
MMG Sports completed a major piece of work for the British & Irish Lions ahead of the 2021 Tour to South Africa. Mick and his team demonstrated good knowledge of the financial, political, operational and commercial aspects of elite level major sporting events. The report that was produced by MMG Sports assisted the British & Irish Lions Board in agreeing a number of decisions.
Mick and I worked together when Mick was CEO of Sale Sharks and MBNA stepped up and took on the main sponsor role. This was a big step for us. Mick’s role in securing us as Principal Partner, guiding us through the process and then helping us to maximise our investment was absolutely critical. Mick is a consummate commercial sport professional.
I know Mick from my time at Newcastle Falcons when he was Commercial Director. He had the unenviable task of co-ordinating players when it came to their responsibilities for corporate and community appearances. Mick ensured that the players were not over-exposed by their additional corporate and community activities. The activities were well planned and players were fully prepared for whatever we were required to do. We understood the relevance and importance to club and enjoyed what we did.
…stands out in rugby’s professional era as an administrator of vision and excellence. He stands one stride ahead of two other visionaries, Mark Evans, formerly at Saracens and Harlequins, and Mick Hogan, at Newcastle Falcons.
