Warwickshire County Cricket Club has announced that
Nottinghamshire-based Abacus Lighting is the latest company to
support the county with sponsorship for the Club's CB40 One Day
Shirt. Abacus Lighting's logo will appear on the arm of the first
team players shirts.
Lighting specialist Abacus are responsible for installing the
new floodlights at Edgbaston, as part of the ground's £32
million redevelopment having manufactured and installed five
bespoke cantilever masts which provide 320 Challenger 3 floodlights
giving 2200 lux over the wicket and fully comply with English
Cricket Board (ECB) guidelines.
The floodlights incorporate precision reflector systems to
ensure tight beam control, reducing overspill and directing light
into the cricket ground where it is needed, and away from the
surrounding local residential area.
Edgbaston will stage its first floodlit cricket match against
Leicestershire on July 15th, 2011.
Paul Wilson, UK Sports Director at Abacus Lighting comments: "It
is tremendous that our company has played a major role in the
development of these world class facilities. Our partnership has
already worked extremely well for both parties and, as a massive
sports enthusiast and keen follower of cricket, I am delighted we
are actively involved in supporting Warwickshire through this
excellent sponsorship arrangement."
Darren Andrew, Sales Manager for Warwickshire County Cricket
Club, said: "Abacus already has an impressive track record in
providing lighting to cricket both in the UK and abroad and have
done a brilliant job of installing the new flood lighting at
Edgbaston. They have been extremely supportive of all aspects of
our new ground redevelopment and we are delighted to have them on
board as part of our shirt sponsors."
