UniBond to continue

HENKEL, parent company of league sponsors UniBond, have announced they will be extending their sponsorship in to an 11th year.

The £100,000 deal, which will expire in June 2005, takes the amount of money injected into the game through its sponsorship to more than £1million.

Since the commencement of the sponsorship in 1994 UniBond has grown to become one of the biggest names in DIY. League chairman Peter Maude said: "I'm absolutely delighted that our agreement has been extended to June 2005.

"It demonstrates the excellent goodwill and co-operation between the League and UniBond. I know I can say that all member clubs will be equally delighted to hear this news especially in view of the current restructuring of non-league football".

Rob Jenkins, UniBond sponsorship director, added: "I look forward to continuing the partnership with the UniBond league and to improve still further the standing of the league and the reputation of UniBond's excellent product range".

The deal shows what can be achieved when both parties work hard together to produce benefits for each other.

UniBond have certainly been quick off the mark in giving the league their full backing during the uncertainty of restructuring and have set a high standard for other sponsors to follow.
