Already sponsor of the club with the Bertram brand, Gavio acquired 51% of the shares, becoming the owner, in the new corporate structure imposed by the transition to professionalism. “We entered the company on tiptoe with my family – said Gavio on Wednesday at the presentation of the new course -, now we have acquired 51% of the shares. I join the board of directors, I was asked to be president but I preferred to leave the role to the professionalism of Marco Picchi. Ferencz Bartocci will be the CEO. The ambition is to get to play the European cups in the next few years, I feel great enthusiasm from the people. We want to work to extend the basin, make the youth teams grow and develop even more the bond with the women of Castelnuovo Scrivia. Everyone’s contribution will be needed to make this reality grow even more. We want to become a point of reference for all the young people of the area who are passionate about basketball “.
