11 Nov 2016 By David Watters

EVO-STIK League Southern Banbury United are hoping to build a healthy commercial partnership with new sponsors Herbalife24.

Known worldwide for offering a comprehensive line of performance nutrition products empowering athletes 24-hours a day, Herbalife24 was unveiled this week as the latest member of the Oxfordshire club's prestigious Red and Gold Business Club.

As members, Herbalife24's corporate sponsorship package includes a programme advert, perimeter board, a match sponsorship, season tickets and free hire of the clubhouse at the Banbury Plant Hire Community Stadium.

The supporter owned club's board and its members are delighted with their latest commercial success as they continue to actively engage with the local business community. Banbury United's commercial director Mark Allitt welcome Herbalife24 into the club's business group on behalf of his colleagues and fellow fans in a club statement.

Allitt said: “It’s fantastic news for the cub that we’re going into partnership with Herbalife 24. It’s a brand which has a high profile worldwide and also in football’s professional game with endorsements from players such as Ronaldo, so we’re delighted to have it associated with Banbury United as we continue to build our sponsorship portfolio.”

Herbalife 24's director for Banbury, Hayley Bolton, said: “We’re delighted to be entering into partnership with Banbury at this exciting time for the club and becoming a Red & Gold business sponsor.

"Obviously, the type of products we sell fits perfectly with a sport such as football and we’ll be here on a match day so that the supporters can take a look and see what we have to offer.

"Hopefully, we’re going to have a long and successful partnership with the club and look forward to seeing them build on their recent promotion and establish themselves in the Southern League Premier Division.”

Francesca Thurlow, Hayley Bolton, Darian White and former Hull City, Oxford United and Bradford City star Dean Windass of Herbalife24 are pictured launching the new partnership with Allitt at the home of the Puritans.
