A COLNE Valley company is putting its shirts on Huddersfield Town.
Linthwaite-based pharmaceuticals manufacturer Thornton + Ross has agreed to renew a sponsorship deal which will see its Radian B brand emblazoned on Town’s away shirts for the fourth successive year.
John Chamberlin, director of consumer marketing for the company, was accompanied by 15 of his colleagues on a visit to Town’s Canalside Sports Complex to mark the announcement. They wore the current away shirt – as the new kit is to be revealed this summer.
Thornton + Ross first joined forces with Town in March, 2009. As well as its Radian B logo appearing on the away shirts, the company has one of its delivery vans specially liveried up with the Town crest. It has also been an active participant in other initiatives, such as the Huddersfield Town Enterprise Academy.
The company was formed in 1922 – the year Town first won the FA Cup – and employs more than 425 local people.
Town commercial director Sean Jarvis said: “We are absolutely delighted that Thornton + Ross have renewed their partnership with us for the 2012/13 season, as over the last three years they have been a fantastic supporter of the club.”
Mr Chamberlin said: “After three productive and enjoyable years, during which we have built a great relationship with Huddersfield Town through our sponsorship of their away shirts, it wasn’t a difficult decision to renew the arrangement for another year.
“We are delighted to continue to be associated with our local team and look forward to next season.”
