Bromleys Solicitors has got the ball rolling with a hat-trick of football sponsorships for the new season, as well as renewing its support of the East Cheshire Harriers & Tameside Athletics Club.
The law firm, which is based in Ashton-under-Lyne, is sponsoring Curzon Ashton FC for the ninth campaign in a row.
The agreement, which runs for this season and next, sees the Bromleys ‘B’ logo feature on the shirt sleeves of the men’s and women’s first team squads.
Curzon Ashton’s men’s team competes in the Enterprise National League North and the women’s team plays in the North West Women’s Regional League. Both sides stage home games at the Tameside Stadium in Ashton.
Bromleys retains its role as the club’s official legal and media partner and is continuing to sponsor its 3G community pitch, which is used by thousands of people each week and is home to the East Manchester Junior Football League.
The pitch hosts a range of activities, including women’s football, walking football for older players, and games for service veterans and disabled participants.
Bromleys’ branding is on display across the Tameside Stadium and around the community pitch.
The firm has also agreed a two-year deal to provide community-focused sponsorship for Stalybridge Celtic, which competes in the Northern Premier League Division One West and plays home games at Bower Fold.
Large flags bearing the Bromleys and club logos are being used to form a guard of honour before kick-off at selected home matches. Children from local schools and community groups are invited to serve as flag wavers.
Bromleys also features on pitch-side signage near the players’ tunnel in front of the main stand.
Meanwhile, the firm has agreed to be a kit sponsor of Tintwistle Athletic FC, a community club catering for players from four years old to veteran age.
The club has 39 teams playing in seven leagues, with the first team competing in the Manchester Football League Division One. Bromleys is sponsoring the Under-8 Blacks team.
Bromleys is also continuing its support for East Cheshire Harriers & Tameside Athletics Club as headline sponsor under a new two-year arrangement.
Paul Westwell, managing partner of Bromleys, said: “We’re proud to continue our support for Curzon Ashton, a club we’ve stood behind for many years, alongside more recent partnerships with Stalybridge Celtic, East Cheshire Harriers & Tameside Athletics Club and Tintwistle Athletic.
“Our support is a source of pride for our staff, as these clubs play a vital role in the communities that we serve. We wish all of them a successful season ahead.”
Curzon Ashton director Paul McHugh said: “We are delighted to be renewing and continuing our partnership with Bromleys Solicitors.
“The firm has supported the club in a variety of capacities over the years since its initial sponsorship in the 2017/18 season, and we are thrilled to announce that for the next two seasons Bromleys will once again be our official club media partner and community pitch sponsor.
“Everyone at the club would like to thank Paul and the rest of the team at Bromleys for their continued support.”
Mark Ormston, club secretary at East Cheshire Harriers & Tameside Athletics Club, said: “Having a loyal partner like Bromleys means a great deal to our club.
“The firm’s continued belief in what we do – from athletics coaching and training to promoting fitness and wellbeing across Tameside and the surrounding area – helps us stay focused on serving the community.
“By renewing its support for another two years, Bromleys has provided us with a guaranteed income and vital financial stability, allowing us to plan ahead with confidence and continue delivering opportunities for people of all ages to get active and involved.”
Jake Connor, joint coach of Tintwistle Athletic under-8 Blacks team, said: “We’re extremely grateful to Bromleys Solicitors for its generous sponsorship of the team this season, and for providing us with fantastic new kits and training tops. The firm’s support is truly invaluable and will make such a positive difference to the kids, helping them feel proud, confident and part of something special.”
