Law firm Clarke Willmott, which has a major base in Bristol, and Gloucestershire County Cricket Club have extended their sponsorship package to cover the 2013 season.
Clarke Willmott’s logo will continue to appear on the collar of the team's playing shirts for all LV= County Championship and Yorkshire Bank 40 matches this season. The firm’s branding will also be used around Gloucestershire CCC’s County Ground in Nevil Road, Bristol.
The new deal extends a relationship that began in 2009.
Gloucestershire Cricket chief executive Tom Richardson said: “We have a long-standing professional relationship with Clarke Willmott and we are delighted they will be a shirt advertising sponsor for the coming season. We look forward continuing to work with them and growing the relationship.”
Clarke Willmott’s head of office in Bristol, Kevin Jones, added: “This sponsorship further cements our excellent relationship with Gloucestershire Cricket. The club has long paid a huge part in Bristol’s sporting life and it’s wonderful to be involved. We wish everyone at the club all the best for the coming season.”
Other sponsors of the club for 2013 include Total, Brewin Dolphin, Sitec and the University of Gloucestershire.
Confirmation of the sponsorship comes as Gloucestershire CCC pushes ahead with its redevelopment of the Country Ground. Work on a new-look pavilion and state-of-the-art media centre and business centre are already under way and due for completion this summer. A new stand with 5,000 permanent seats will be ready for the England v India one day International in 2014.
