Milestone signs Passion Project Sponsorship agreement with CWM FX  

Milestone, the AIM quoted (AIM: MSG) provider of digital media and technology solutions is pleased to announce that CWM FX has signed a sponsorship agreement for the Passion Project game ("the Game").

Following the successful launch of the Passion Project on 10 December 2014, London-based Forex trading company CWM FX has volunteered to sponsor the Game for 12 months. This is the first of a series of sponsorship opportunities coming available as part of the Passion Project initiative and has an upfront sponsorship fee of £130,000 which will see CWM FX named as the sole sponsor of the Game.

The Game is a careers profiling tool for young people that helps to match young people with careers and opportunities based on their interests and skills and not solely on their educational qualifications. The Game aims to make careers advice simple, fun and interactive. As the main sponsor for the Game, CWM FX will be named on the main screen as well as appearing in the advertising space on the Game's pages. CWM FX will also be featured in Milestone Group's Disorder UK Magazine.

CWM FX is also joining the Passion Project as a Corporate Member. Corporate Members have access to Milestone's products and services to help support and deliver Corporate Social Responsibility ("CSR") activities, staff engagement initiatives, recruitment and other related activities including targeted marketing campaigns, PR, advertising, product distribution, and digital consultancy and business solutions.

CWM FX is a team of experienced financial professionals, guided by the core principles of honesty, integrity and transparency. They aim to provide clients with the best possible opportunity to trade profitably in a safe and ethically sound environment. With this sponsorship, CWM FX aligns its values in giving back to the community by creating more opportunities for young people to embrace their talents.

Anthony Constantinou, CEO of CWM World, commented:

"I firmly believe that the secret to success is people. The best leaders support people and take the time to find the talent waiting to shine, but they cannot reach everybody, making it especially difficult for those just starting out in their careers.  

"When we heard about the Passion Project and the great work it is doing to reach out to young people and match their interests to a whole host of industries, we were pleased to volunteer our support. Central to our company's growth has been our ability to develop the very latest technology-based products and services for the marketplace, so it's somewhat fitting that we can give back to the community by sponsoring a technology-based tool which will help the next generation find careers which will inspire them and harness their talents."

Deborah White, CEO Milestone Group plc, commented:

"CWM has a strong business ethos which includes providing opportunities for young people and are renowned for their work in the charity sector. I am delighted that they have chosen to partner with Milestone to help develop the Passion Project initiative, which not only looks to support the development of young people, but also aims to create a sustainable commercial business model for many worthy causes in the process. We are looking forward to developing the relationship."
