New WPBSA Website Launched!
The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) is today pleased to announce the launch of an all-new website ahead of the televised stages of the Betfred World Snooker Championship.
The modern and responsive website provides a wealth of information about snooker and billiards at all levels, from the WPBSA’s many sport development initiatives, to the household names that compete on the professional World Snooker Tour.
In recent years, the WPBSA Group has expanded its portfolio of activities significantly with the unprecedented support available to main tour players complementing its expanded role in developing the sport at amateur level.
The new website, developed by digital media agency INIT Creative, aims to showcase these projects to a wider audience and provide anyone looking to engage with snooker at any level with the means and information by which to do so.
The launch marks the first of a series of new websites to be unveiled over the coming months which will bring uniformity and establish a clear brand identity across the WPBSA Group.
