“Anything – and everything – is possible for one of football’s best-loved clubs”

marcus evans Group has enjoyed an inextricable link with football since forming, initially, as a sports hospitality company in 1983. In 2007, this link was further strengthened with the purchase  of Ipswich Town Football Club.
