Sanderson Associates Scores With Sponsorship Deal

Award-winning West Yorkshire highway engineering consultants Sanderson Associates have signed a prestigious new sponsorship deal with Huddersfield Town football club.

Sanderson Associates, the leading truly independent highway engineering planning specialists in the country, will be the new sponsors of Huddersfield Town's first and away team shorts for the 2009-10 season.

The company has strong West Yorkshire roots, having been founded in 1987 at a small office in Holmfirth, with 40 specialised staff, Sanderson Associates is a rapidly expanding business. Its purpose-built headquarters are located at Grange Moor, Huddersfield.

This is its first foray into sports sponsorship and is the ninth new business to become involved with Huddersfield Town at the top level this season.

Alison France, Managing Director of Sanderson Associates, said: "We are extremely pleased to be involved with a club like Huddersfield Town, which - like us - places such emphasis on being part of the West Yorkshire community and with the same values as Sanderson's."

"The club has a rich and illustrious history, as well as tremendous potential for the future. We look forward to enjoying a long and beneficial association with Town and look forward with excitement for the new season to begin. We are proud that the team will be wearing our name on their shorts and hope it will bring with it a Yorkshire winning streak," she added.

Huddersfield Town's Commercial Director, Sean Jarvis, said: "We are delighted to have a business with such strong local connections and a great pedigree involved with Huddersfield Town.

Sanderson Associates have joined a number of other businesses in seeing what we are trying to achieve at the Club and bought into it. We are delighted to welcome them to the Club and look forward to a long and successful partnership."
