Sponsors shake on new deal

Officials at the Meres say long-term sponsors and chartered accounts Duncan and Toplis have committed to another campaign backing the Gingerbreads in the EVO-STIK NPL's top flight.

Duncan and Toplis deputy managing director Ian Phillips is an ardent supporter, attending most home games when not working for one of the foremost firms of chartered accountants in the area offering extensive services on everything from VAT returns to audit and payroll, business strategy and tax planning.

Pictured alongside Grantham Town director Peter Railton, he is delighted that his company is renewing their partnership with the EVO-STIK NPL Premier Division club.

Phillips said: "We have been a sponsor of the football club for many years and have seen the highs and the lows which is something that many of our commercial clients face.

"We have been on hand to help and advise and have hopefully contributed in a small way to the continuity of this historic organisation. A new season brings fresh optimism both on the field and off and we are pleased to be one of the sponsors again this year."

He added: "We wish the club and everyone associated with it all the best for the coming months and look forward to playing our part in helping the club be a success - at least financially!"

Grantham Town director and development manager Sophie Cope said: "It's fantastic to again secure the support of a local business, to offer vital services to us free of charge, as well as showing a keen interest in the development of the football club.

"It goes a long way to helping the club behind the scenes. Ian and his team are regular sponsors of matches and attend our sportsman's dinners which is fantastic for us and also a great networking opportunity!"
