Supporting Congleton Town FC is good for business!

Supporting Congleton Town FC is good for business!

Congleton Town FC was the proud recipient of the Community Award at the recent East Cheshire Chamber of Commerce Annual Business Awards at which 250 guests were in attendance representing businesses and organisations from all over the region.

The Club was in competition with many significant local businesses, social groups, charities and individuals and demonstrated an exceptional input into the benefit of the Cheshire East community and is delighted to have achieved such recognition.
The last few years have been a period of real transformation for the Club with ground and stadium improvements, a new junior soccer school and the development of new charity partnerships and business sponsorships.

Chamber Member, Nigel Moorhouse, of Roman Lodge Estates Ltd, a club director, said, ‘This Award is a reflection of the contribution made by a large number of enthusiastic and talented volunteers connected with Congleton Town Football Club who have helped it to generate strong working relationships with businesses and voluntary organisations in East Cheshire.’
The Club is planning a number of exciting new initiatives to be implemented in the next few months to further develop its community links. The team of players are doing well at present with a fine run of recent wins, and of course, has real promotion aspirations to move up the leagues.
As everyone knows, a successful football club is good for the local community and economy, so strong links with the business community are a win-win for everyone concerned. Chamber members are therefore invited to become a co-sponsor – sponsorship opportunities are available at a range of levels and figures – from the very modest to well, the sky’s the limit, it’s over to you! 
Fiona Bruce MP says: “Congratulations to Congleton Town Football Club on winning the Chamber’s Community Award this year, which is well deserved. This shows how the team spirit is going from strength to strength and the club’s facilities are much improved. Congleton Town Football Club is becoming an increasingly key part of the town’s community life. I thoroughly enjoy going to matches, where there is always a warm welcome and encourage anyone who has not attended to go along to Booth Street and support them there.”
Congleton Town FC would like to thank East Cheshire Chamber for their recognition of the role the Football Club has in its community.
