Trafford sign eco-friendly sponsors

Trafford have signed one of the UK’s leading recycling companies as their new main sponsor.

KMD Recycling Ltd are the Evo-Stik NPL First Division North Trafford’s new ‘Official Club Partner’ and shirt sponsors for the remainder of the season.

As well as proudly appearing on the front of the shirts worn by Garry Vaughan’s side, Trafford’s Shaw View ground along with club publications and the official website are now also undergoing a major rebranding.

Trafford's Chairman Howard Nelson is pictured officially unveiling the deal alongside KMD Recycling Ltd’s Director Phil Steven before their FA Cup Third Qualifying Round clash with Marine.

Trafford say it quickly became clear during initial discussions with Steven, a keen footballer supporter himself, that becoming the club's lead sponsor offered the environmental specialists great brand awareness opportunities both at Shawe View and across league while the club could promote its own environmental credentials.

Trafford's delighted Chairman said: "Of course we are delighted to have such a forward thinking, socially responsible organisation on board and I'd like to thank Phil personally for his, and KMD’s, commitment to Trafford FC. Long may it last!"

Phil S Rigney, KMD Recycling's Managing Director, said the agreement is central to KMD Recycling’s sponsorship strategy and reinforces the company's commitment to local community sporting initiatives alongside Trafford.

He said: "This new and exclusive partnership with Trafford FC, allows us to create an association with a leading local football team and enhance our business profile.

"The sponsorship offers KMD Recycling two new benefits: firstly it creates a link within the local football community around Trafford and secondly it delivers a enhancement for increased brand awareness within the local business community."

KMD Recycling Ltd are one of the UK’s leading secure IT disposal, and end of life recycling companies, offering UK wide collection, media destruction, re-marketing and fully ethical computer equipment disposal services to UK businesses. KMD deliver full compliance with media security and environmental legislation.
