SILK Mill Street-based Boxed Red Marketing has teamed up with Knutsford Football Club to secure a sponsorship deal in the club’s 125th anniversary year.

Knutsford Football Club is celebrating its milestone anniversary in 2013, and Boxed Red Marketing has signed a new sponsorship deal just in time for the new football season.

Sponsorship is of paramount importance to the amateur club, helping to maintain the grounds and facilities, as well as supporting the players and ensuring they keep their position at the top of the Cheshire Football League.

The team has won back-to-back Cheshire Football League titles in 2011 and 2012.

Janna Caley, director at Boxed Red Marketing, said: “It’s great we can be involved with Knutsford Football Club in such a historic year.

“It’s testament to the club’s commitment to its players, the grounds and its supporters that it is still going strong and has enjoyed such a rich history over the past 125 years.

“I grew up in Knutsford and I’ve enjoyed following the team’s successes, so the opportunity for Boxed Red to sponsor the club was too good to miss.”

Jimmy Evans, chairman of Knutsford Football Club, said: “Sponsors are so important to us and we’re really grateful such a well-known and credible business such as Boxed Red has chosen to support the club this year. “

Boxed Red will be promoted on the advertising boards at the entrance to the club on the A50 Manchester Road, with branding and advertising in the grounds and in the match programmes.
