BREEDON EXTENDS SUPPORT FOR SCOTTISH HIGHLAND FOOTBALL LEAGUE
Breedon, a leading construction materials group has agreed to continue its main title sponsorship of the Highland League for another year meaning that the 2021-2022 League Championship will continue to be The Breedon Highland League.
Breedon has been a consistent and loyal supporter of the Highland League for ten years and
this represents a significant commitment on the part of the Group.
Breedon has recognised that this is a time when clubs need all the help they can get to recover from the effects of Covid and prepare for next season, so the Group is delighted to be able to continue that support.
Alan Mackenzie, Regional Managing Director of Breedon Scotland, commented:
“We’ve had a highly successful relationship with the Highland League over the last ten years. Supporting local communities is very important to Breedon and we’re a natural partner, given that almost all the member clubs’ grounds are within just a few miles of one of our sites and we’re delighted to be continuing our partnership. It has been especially important to sustain this support during a period when the impact of Covid means that clubs need all the help they can get.”
George Manson, President of the Highland League, expressed his appreciation of Breedon’s support, adding:
“We are deeply grateful to Breedon and Alan Mackenzie for this outstanding act of generosity during difficult times for clubs. This typifies the wonderful long-term relationship between Breedon and the League and serves to emphasise the extent to which the Group supports the game in the north.”
