davis cup
In early April, around 300 Rabobank customers were invited to attend the prestigious
Davis Cup event between the Netherlands and Germany, featuring such top tennis names
as Becker, Stich, Haarhuis and Krajicek.
Eighteen VIP boxes and a hos-
pitality room had been reserv-
ed specially for CBS clients,
with four allocated to the
Frankfurt and other interna
tional offices. Tournaments
such as the Davis Cup are ideal
venues for promoting informal
contacts between clients. For
this reason, a specially selected
program is put together every
year comprising high profile,
quality events which will ap-
peal to clients. These can range
from classical concerts and
musicals to sports meetings.
The Davis Cup tournament
was particularly successful for
the bank, although less so for
the Dutch team. Becker and
Stich were in top form and
beat their neighbours with re-
lative ease. But the crowd still
cheered - especially when the
Ajax football team arrived to
watch. 'Whatever the final out-
come,' one cliënt remarked,
'we've had a wonderful time.
It was an exciting, world-class
competition and typically a
Rabobank event - informal,
friendly and not least construc-
tive.'
