WATFORD Football Club is delighted to announce over 20 new 'By Official Appointment' partners for next season.
The concept, which began last season, has grown considerably with nearly 40 local and regional companies represented.
Raj Athwal, Head of Corporate said: "Within the Watford and Hertfordshire regions it has been recognised there is a significant group of businesses who share two important characteristics; They are good at what they do and they would benefit from a closer relationship with Watford Football Club."
The 'By Official Appointment' (BOA) partnership only allows one company per industry to be a partner.
The companies are promoted to all the supporters and companies via the Club's media sources which include the programme, website and fact sheet to all season ticket holders.
They also have the right to use the Club's logo and in some categories the opportunity to have a player appearance.
To date the new companies who have joined the 'By Official Appointment' include: A-Plan Insurance, A2B Taxis, Top Golf, Snappy Snaps, Bragagnini Associates, Capel Carpets, Ciente, Inspace Office Furniture, Kenwood, Heavenscent, Black Boots Tyres, Security4all Ltd, M.K. Ginder & Sons, The Viking, Big Yellow Self Storage, ThaT Burger!, A&B Decorators, The Shire London, SA Law, The Print Room, Soccerade UK, Thomas Cook, Northern Motors, Sports Interactive, Aneataprint, Hollywood Bowl, Revolution Bar Watford, Arc Entertainment Ltd, Park Inn Hotel, Nichols Wholesale Meats, West Herts Sports & Fitness Club, West Herts Squash & Fitness Club, Sheng Nuo Ltd and Family Eyecare.
On Friday 30 July the Club invited the BOA companies to attend a function at Vicarage Road ahead of the new season in WD18.
New East Stand sponsors THaT Burger attended the event and they've already found benefits since linking up with the Golden Boys.
Justin Davies (pictured above) from THaT Burger said: "It's been really successful; when we were on the homepage of www.watfordfc.com we were getting around 300-400 hits a day on our website, which is brilliant.
"Hopefully the new sign will do just the same! Watford FC is the biggest brand in Watford and they are at the heart of community of the town and that's why we wanted to be part of BOA at Watford Football Club."
Darren Barratt from Vauxhall Motors (Northern Motors) spoke to www.watfordfc.com about their matchday experience at Vicarage Road.
He added: "We've been part of Watford FC for about a year and we really enjoy working with Neil Price, Raj Athwal and the team.
"They look after us and we try to look after them. We always have a very good day out at Vicarage Road.
"We've come as guests in the corporate area and match sponsors several times last year and there is more on the way in the new season."
Lydia Tuckey from Security4all Ltd commented: "I was born next door so you don't get much more local than that and I'm a Watford fan so getting my business involved with the club means a lot to me. Football's a fantastic game to be part of.
"Corporately we wanted to reach out to the community and the fans and Watford FC, being such an important factor in the local community was the ideal choice."
