About VOC Connect
Sport and music have always been connected. The culture, the community, the money that flows between them. VOC Connect was built at that intersection. We support professional athletes with the things that matter beyond their career – banking, wealth management, and investment opportunities that actually make sense for their lives. We have relationships with some of the best private banks and wealth managers in the UK, and we bring athletes into those relationships properly. We also give athletes access to something most people don’t know exists.
Through our music catalogue fund, athletes can invest in music rights – owning a share of songs that generate royalty income every time they stream, sync, or broadcast. The biggest institutional investors in the world have been doing this quietly for years. Our athletes can do it too. In practice, we have worked predominantly with Black British athletes – a demographic that is seriously underrepresented when it comes to access to private banking and serious wealth management. That is part of why this business exists.Beyond the deals and the investments, VOC is a community. We host dinners and galas that bring athletes, advisors, and partners together in the right environment. Some of the most valuable things that have come out of this network started over dinner – not in a boardroom. We exist because professional careers are short and the financial industry has not always made itself accessible to the people who need it most. We are changing that.
“Great team behind the scenes, In this world many people are only after your money but these guys genuinely seem to care about your wellbeing first and foremost.”
Odel Offiah, Preston North End
“Before joining VOC Connect, I never really opened up to anyone about what I was feeling, especially as a young Black player.
A lot of the support out there doesn’t really feel like it’s for us, but this was different. From the first chat, I felt like I was speaking to people who actually got it – not just the football side, but the cultural side too.
It’s been a space where I can talk about things that normally get ignored in football , from mental health to planning for the future, and actually feel understood.”
Saheed Olagunju , Wolves
“When I moved from Huddersfield Town to Al Wahda, everything changed; new country, new culture, new rules. It was exciting but also overwhelming.
VOC Connect helped me prepare properly. They explained things like tax, contracts, and what to expect living abroad, but more than that, they made sure I didn’t feel alone.
Through their network I found people I could trust and a community I could connect with, even thousands of miles from home. That made all the difference.”
Brahima Diarra, Al Wahda FC
