Senior Management's Perspective:
Steve Fitch
Vice President,
Finance
Boston Red Sox
"The
Boston Red Sox value relationships
on the field, in the office, in the
community, with our fans and with
our suppliers. Our longstanding
supplier relationships have
continually provided us with quality
service as well as demonstrated
expertise and flexibility. In
addition we have new suppliers who
have provided us with the innovation
necessary for any business to
maintain success. They are all
integral components to a successful
season and we are proud to honor our
diverse suppliers who have provided
us with exceptional service and
top-notch products during our
journey to becoming the 2007 World
Series Champions.
After
the ownership group led by John
Henry, Tom Werner and Larry Lucchino
purchased the Club, they outlined
five fundamental commitments to Red
Sox fans and New England residents:
1) To
field a team worthy of the fans’
support,
2) To
preserve all that’s good about
Fenway Park and to take that
experience to a higher level,
3) To
market aggressively to a new, broad
region,
4) To
be active participants in the
community, and
5) To
bring World Championships to Boston
and New England.
The six
diverse suppliers that we are
highlighting have all helped us to
continue to fulfill our Club’s
mission. We are proud to present
these vendors through the
Champions FIRST platform of the
America’s Best Diverse Suppliers(R)
Program."
