Courts' O'Connor supporting charity drive

[SINGAPORE] The man who has brought world football to Singapore by featuring players such as Pele, Eric Cantona and Paul Scholes as part of Courts' store promotions still gets a kick when soccer's biggest show comes to town in the shape of The BT-Coca Cola World Cup Charity Drive.

Courts regional chief executive officer Terry O'Connor, who took part in a similar campaign The Business Times ran during the 2006 World Cup, said: "Nothing stirs natural passions like sports!"

He is encouraging other CEOs to join him and 15 corporate chiefs who have signed up for the charity drive.
