One of Nottingham's oldest law firms has become the home shirt
sponsor for the world's oldest Football League club.
Fraser Brown Solicitors will be the home shirt sponsor for the
club's 2011/12 campaign after they were selected from 150 companies
that had paid to enter a draw for the chance to have their logo on
the front of the new Magpies home shirt.
Along with the front of shirt sponsorship, Fraser Brown will
have two perimeter boards at Meadow Lane, an advert in every
matchday programme and executive packages for two home matches of
their choice.
Peter Thornley, Managing Partner at Fraser Brown, was delighted
to have his company selected, especially being a lifelong Notts
County supporter. He said: "I'm absolutely delighted, 35 years I've
been a supporter and it's great for us, great for the business and
hopefully good for Notts County."
Commercial & Marketing Director Mark Devlin was delighted to
see the 150 Club become such a success. He added: "Not only have we
got a winner that's a local company, the Managing Partner is an
avid Notts fan.
"It's fantastic, it's worked for all of those reasons, it also
gives us a chance to work with a lot of other companies, some of
which we've never worked with before, and get them more interested
in the football club going forward.
"That was an important part of what we were trying to achieve so
I would say it's a resounding success and a great start for the 150
Year celebrations."
