A Brighouse communications and strategy consultancy has added to its portfolio of sporting clients.

Waverley will work with Manchester Thunder, the North West’s Superleague Netball team and runner-up in this year’s competition, to develop its communications, marketing and sponsorship activity both before and during the 2017 season. The consultancy joined forces with Thunder earlier this year to promote the Netball Manchester Live event which saw Thunder take on Yorkshire Jets at Manchester Arena.

The firm will also develop the social media strategy of Netball UK, the UK’s leading online supplier of netball equipment and products, which sells across the country and the world from its Oldham headquarters.

Stephen Naylor, director of Waverley Consultancy, said: “We’re excited at the prospect of working with two of the leading names in the world of netball as Waverley continues to build our number of sporting clients.”
