Former England football captain David Beckham has signed a deal with global property developer Las Vegas Sands (LVS) which will see Beckham help create experiences at luxury resorts around the world.

Beckham, regarded one of the world’s most iconic men, will join forces with LVS’s powerful integrated resort properties in Macao and Singapore.

“We have billions of dollars invested in our own global, iconic brands and we clearly understand the importance of growing and sustaining those brands over time,” said Michael Leven, president and COO of LVS. “We're very excited about the partnership and we fully expect it to grow in the years to come, especially as we aggressively explore opportunities to further expand our presence in Asia.”

At a press conference held in Macao, it was revealed that the former England captain, described as a ‘tastemaker’, will lend his expertise in developing dining, retail and leisure concepts for the luxury property company.

Beckham commented: “The Sands team has created amazing resorts in Singapore and Macao.

“The scale, vision and calibre in all that they do is impressive.

“I am very excited to be working with them to develop a range of new business ideas in a part of the world that I love spending time in and is full of optimism and growth.”
