AUGUST 2008

Maidstone United Football Club have signed a lucrative new sponsorship deal with Icom – a local company which supplies, maintains and supports business telecommunications, network services and cabling.

The deal, which will see the Stones sporting the Icom logo on their first team strip, is for a three-year period. The sponsorship is for an undisclosed amount, but both parties can confirm that the sums involved are substantial.

Maidstone United chairman Paul Bowden-Brown has welcomed the new deal and is looking forward forward to working with the company over the next few years. He said: “The current economic climate has made seeking any kind of sponsorship challenging. However, good things come to those who wait and we’re delighted to secure this three-year deal with Icom, which will be a real partnership as we bring the club home to Kent’s county town.”

Icom managing director John Donoghue and his fellow directors are all keen followers of football. He said: "As a communications company, we know how important it is to get your message out there and through Maidstone United we have a great opportunity to promote Icom through football. We are both ambitious and professional in our work, which I hope will make for a rewarding partnership.”

The deal comes at a perfect time for the club and is a major boost for their plans for this coming season’s campaign in Ryman Premier Division, which kicks off on Saturday 16 August with an away match at Heybridge Swifts, followed by home fixtures against Canvey Island on Tuesday 19 August and Harlow Town on Saturday 23 August.
