Huddersfield Town has a new signing.

Global agribusiness Syngenta is teaming up with the club to support the HTAFC Schools Partnership in 2015.

Syngenta, which has an award-winning manufacturing centre at Leeds Road in Huddersfield, is one of the world’s leading companies with more than 28,000 employees in 90 countries. It makes crop protection products which help farmers all over the world get higher yields from their crops, providing greater availability of quality food and lower costs for consumers.

Now Syngenta will be working with Huddersfield Town on an exciting educational project involving the club’s primary school partners.

Carl Sykes, community partnerships manager at Syngenta, said: “Off the pitch, Huddersfield Town is very active in our local community and has an engaging schools programme.

“Syngenta is a world leader in seeds and crop protection and through this new partnership, we aim to give local schools the opportunity to share with children the importance of sowing and growing plants, leading to good health and nutrition.”

Town ambassador Andy Booth said: “We are delighted that Syngenta has come on board to support our Schools Partnership. We look forward to working with them in schools.”
