AEG global partnerships sign up Addison Lee as official ride partner

Addison Lee has struck a deal to become the official ride partner for London venues The O2 and The SSE Arena, Wembley.

The three-year deal, brokered by AEG Global Partnerships, is seen to be a key strategic move in a bid to raise brand awareness and engagement with a shared customer base.

Through the deal, customers travelling to and from the venues will be provided with pick-up and drop-off options available via the Addison Lee app.

The pick-up and drop-off services will also be supported with on-site digital signage, social and in-venue activation, which will offer fans a chance to engage with the Addison Lee brand as part of their venue experience.

Rob McGinn, Chief Commercial Officer at Addison Lee, said: “We’re excited to bring together this strategic partnership with globally recognised and respected brands to provide pre-book and ASAP rides to customers looking to relax and enjoy a day or night out at AEG’s most prominent London venues.

“The O2 and The SSE Arena, Wembley customers can enjoy a variety of transportation services available through the Addison Lee app – from premium to chauffeured, high-end executive cars – with 4G wi-fi and phone chargers included in our premium service as a standard. Whether they are heading home or continuing their night out, customers can beat the crowds and travel in safety and comfort.”
