Essex CCC signs first sponsor for Premier Suite

English county cricket club Essex has agreed a deal for financial services firm Scrutton Bland to become the first-ever naming rights partner for the Premier Suite at the team’s CloudFM County Ground home stadium.

The agreement will run for three-years, with the recently refurbished facility to be renamed as the Scrutton Bland Premier Suite.

Scrutton Bland has been working with the club on various other projects for the past three years and the naming rights agreement will enhance this relationship.

Darrell Fox, commercial manager at Essex, said: “This is an excellent partnership for the Club because Scrutton Bland have been one of our most loyal supporters for the last three seasons and have contributed to our success on and off the field.

“Their reputation for supporting sport in the community is one of the reasons we value the partnership so much, plus the on-going support they have given to our England Women’s International fixtures and the inaugural On-Pitch Marquee events.”

Jason Fayers, managing partner at Scrutton Bland added: “The Scrutton Bland Premier Suite is a fantastic space for corporate hospitality for members on match days, with a superb view of the pitch and perfect facilities for entertaining.

“As a corporate sponsor, we are able to show our ongoing commitment to cricket in Essex, whilst simultaneously promoting our brand in the region.

“We are so proud to have such a successful cricket club on our doorstep. Individuals and businesses should show their support for the 2017 County Champions.”
