Hollis Sponsorship Bulletin

Following the news that team sponsor Apollo 2000 has gone into administration, Worcestershire County Cricket Club is seeking a replacement prior to the new season.

Club chief executive Mark Newton said: “While our thoughts must be with those who have lost their jobs in these difficult times, the situation does present an excellent opportunity for an organisation somewhere. We are in a fire sale situation - but we do have a major branding opportunity available. In 2008, our television exposure produced £60,000 worth of coverage alone - plus all the press coverage and goodwill that is created locally.”

Newton says the club’s commercial team is on the case: “We are notifying as many companies as we can. We realise these are difficult times but there may be somebody out there who is in a position to become involved.” Details of the team sponsorship are available at  www.wccc.co.uk.
