BIRMINGHAM Speedway have today confirmed that leading motor vehicle dealers, the Johnsons Volkswagen Group, are to provide substantial sponsorship for the Premier Trophy Final second leg.
The eagerly-awaited final goes ahead this Wednesday (28th July) at Perry Barr Stadium, when a huge crowd is expected to see the Brummies attempt to win their first major team silverware for over 35-years. Tapes-up at 7.30pm.
Johnsons Volkswagen have dealerships at Birmingham, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield and Tamworth.
Brand managers Ashley Gibson (Soilhull) and Richard Collins (Birmingham) will be in attendance with colleagues and guests at the Perry Barr showpiece final.
Johnsons Volkswagen recently sponsored the Brummies crushing home win over Somerset in the KO Cup quarter final. This followed one of the quickest Speedway sponsorship contract arrangements in history, as so impressed were the Johnsons Volkswagen people at a recent match, they signed up to sizable and generous backing of the team after witnessing just 10 heats of racing!
Brummies co-promoter Mick Bratley is delighted with the deal. He said: "We’re proud that such leading companies as Johnsons Volkswagen are such committed and wonderful sponsors. They join a long line of commercial partners at the club, who now lead the Speedway world in attracting major brands into Speedway sponsorship in the UK.”
Ashley Gibson from Johnsons Volkswagen commented: "We’re always pleased when we have a chance to join in with the local community and being part of speedway in Birmingham is a great chance to do just that. It was clear to us immediately that the Brummies enjoy a passionate following, which we’re now proud to call ourselves a part of.”
