Henry Howard Finance has announced its continuing sponsorship of local Football Club, Undy Athletic AFC.
Undy Athletic AFC is located in the village of Undy, Monmouthshire, and as well as the senior team, offers football for local youngsters through its Mini and Junior sections as well as also having veterans and Ladies teams. Established in 1947, Undy was promoted, as Champions, last season from the Gwent County league and has enjoyed great success of late, culminating with the team sitting at the top of the MacWhirter Welsh League Division Three.
Since beginning sponsorship of the first team in October 2010, Henry Howard Finance has donated training and playing kit and match day equipment, as well as sponsoring the brand new supporters stand. Adding to this long list of donations, Henry Howard Finance’s most recent purchase has been additional training kit and match day tracksuits.
Managing Director of Henry Howard Finance and Manager of Undy AFC, Mark Crook, commented: “Growing up in Undy and playing for the club as a child I know how important the team is to the local community. A lot of the Henry Howard Finance Team are from the area and as such, we know how essential it is to give something back to the community.
“The team has improved significantly throughout the years and Henry Howard Finance is pleased to be able to support them as they continue to go from strength to strength. From a personal point of view, it’s great to see the players enjoying the game and playing well.”
Vice Chairman of Undy AFC, Philip Guard, said: “We are thrilled that Henry Howard Finance is continuing to sponsor Undy AFC. They have been vital to the club’s achievements to date, not just through their sponsorship, but because of the excellent coaching provided by Mark and Jason Davies, who also works for Henry Howard Finance.
“The Football team is a key part of our community and it is great to see local companies, like Henry Howard Finance, supporting their local area. We look forward to watching the team, in the brand new Henry Howard Finance branded stand, achieve even greater success.”
