A BUILDING products group – which supplied materials to build the Galpharm Stadium – is hoping to share in success with Huddersfield Giants.

The Myers Group is one of the club’s new official kit sponsors, with its logo featuring on the back of the players’ shirts.

Giants star Lee Gilmour was at Myers Build & DIY at Crosland Hill to mark the tie-up and promote a prize draw to win a signed shirt.

The draw will take place on Tuesday, December 20, at Myers Build & DIY.

Spokeswoman Theresa Flacks said: “The Myers Group is a traditional family-run business in its fourth generation, supplying the local community of Huddersfield with everything for building, renovating & DIY through its network of companies.”

The group’s businesses include Naylor Myers Building Supplies, Boards Timber Merchants, Johnsons Wellfield Natural Stone Supplies and HSH Skip Hire.

Also part of the Group is Readymix Huddersfield which celebrated its 50th anniversary in July 2009.

Readymix Huddersfield, close to the Galpharm Stadium, includes subsidiary companies Mini Mix, Conveyormix & Mobile Concrete Pump Hire.

Said Theresa: “Together, these companies supplied the vast amount of concrete required to build the then McAlpine Stadium, the home of Huddersfield Giants.

“We are very proud to have the Myers Group logo displayed on the new Huddersfield Giants shirts.

“We do our very best to support the local community wherever possible, so to be associated with our local team is a great privilege. We wish Huddersfield Giants all the very best in the forthcoming season.”

Huddersfield Giants managing director Richard Thewlis said: “It is wonderful for us to have the Myers logo on our shirts and we look forward to a long and mutually beneficial partnership. We look forward to helping them further their brand through our community work in the schools, amateur clubs and charitable organisations that we are linked with.”
