The World Corporate Golf Challenge are delighted to announce that Italian fashion and sportswear company Conte of Florence have renewed their partnership with the event. The agreement will see them positioned as Official Apparel and Fashion Supplier at the 2015 World Final, which will take place from the 30th June – 5th July in Cacais, Portugal.
Conte of Florence made its debut in 1952 when the first shop with the name Con.T.E. (Confezione Tessuti Esclusivi – Exclusive Fabrics Tailoring) was opened near the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, offering ladies’ clothing made exclusively by hand by some of the city’s best-known dressmakers. In 1958 the name CON.T.E. was changed to Conte of Florence, and the shop made way for the company.

Since then Conte of Florence and its logo have become one of the most recognised and appreciated leaders in the sports world. The popularity of the Florentine company has continued to grow from their initial sponsorship of the National Italian Alpine Ski Team in 1969, to their foray into the golfing world in the eighties.
Conte of Florence was worn by many top professional golfers including Costantino Rocca, Robert Karlsson, Thomas Bjorn, Darren Clark, Alexander Levy and in 2015 Andrew Sullivan, who recently won the 2015 SA Open Championship and a new italian star Renato Paratore, one of the world’s most promising golfers, the gold medal in the Men’s Individual Stroke Play Golf Competition at the Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China in August 2014.
