It will also be included on replica shirts that will go on sale shortly in a new club shop.Rink Print are one of Swadlincote's most successful and long established small businesses and the future for the company looks even better now they have the backing of creative agency Tolputt Keeton who also have premises in Tamworth and Burton.
The Managing Director of Rink Print, Paul Keeton, said, "We are very keen to build sustainable working relationships with a variety of local businesses and this deal we have agreed with Gresley FC fits our strategic plan for the business. Whilst we have known Gresley Chairman Mark Harrison for sometime we have invested time and energy on this deal to ensure it is right for everyone concerned. I am delighted it has come to fruition and hope that everyone benefits."
Mark Harrison (Chairman of Gresley FC) added, "We have all come to understand the need for Gresley to be a community club and we hope to be able to announce other sponsors shortly who have their roots in the South Derbyshire economy. I hope our supporters appreciate the work that goes on behind the scenes to reach a major agreement like this and I can assure them that the Board will be working to bring other sponsors to the club as soon as possible."
