BSA Tube Runner renews deal
MANUFACTURER of tube and pipe
preparation machinery, BSA Tube Runner,
and its parent company BSA Regal Group,
have announced that they have extended
their agreement as main sponsor of
Hampshire Football Association for a further
four seasons, through to June 2016, which
includes the sponsorship of the Saturday
Senior Cup. The existing sponsorship
agreement commenced in July 2008 and
was due to run until June 2012, but both
organisations have acted swiftly to extend
their working relationship beyond this date.
Funds generated through the agreement
will enable Hampshire FA to further invest in
grassroots football in the county.
Neil Cassar, chief executive of Hampshire
FA, commented, “We are absolutely thrilled
that we have been able to renew this
agreement as it continues to provide vital
support for grassroots football and enables
us to be one of the leading county FAs in the
country. BSA has proven to be a first class
sponsor of grassroots football over the past
four years and I hope that we can remain
partners for many years to come.”
Simon Wilson, director of BSA Tube
Runner, said, “We have always taken an
interest in the development of young people
through sporting activities and we are
pleased to be in the fortunate position to be
able to continue to help Hampshire FA fulfil
their plans with grassroots football.”
