What’s refreshing is that it’s led by strong, forward-thinking women who are receptive to new ideas and ways of doing things.
Often there’s the attitude of “we’ve always done it this way”, but to work with a club that is so keen on out of the box ideas, engaging the fans and sponsors is something that is priceless for us.
That’s why we know we will work so well together.
Partnerships are key for us, and the relationship that the team has with their sponsors is so encouraging to see, and we can’t wait to see this evolve and grow.”
