Gloucestershire County Cricket’s T20 team has attracted a new sponsor.

BNS Management Services, who currently sponsor Forest Green Rovers, will be the new name on the back of T20 shirts at the club for the 2016 and 2017 seasons.

The Bristol-based company, which manages hundreds of properties across the South West, say Gloucestershire’s up and coming T20 team, as well as the club’s strong focus on developing young cricketers, attracted them to become new sponsors this year, with a deal which includes shirt, player and ground sponsorship.

BNS Management Services Managing Director, Andrew Simmonds, said: “We are thrilled to have signed this deal with Gloucestershire County Cricket as well as our current sponsorship deal with Forest Green Rovers.

“Becoming involved with sports in the region has been a focus of ours for a while, not only for brand awareness and exposure but mainly because we are passionate about supporting young talent, particularly within up-and-coming teams.

“T20 is the fastest growing spectator sport and we’re really looking forward to entertaining clients at matches and introducing them to this exciting game.

“Gloucestershire’s home in the heart of Bristol and with fans across the South West is the perfect fit for us. We recently rebranded so the new logo will go on to the back of shirts, around the ground and on the scoreboards.

“We are looking forward to some great matches this season and developing our relationship with the club, players and fans.”

BNS Management Services provide a 24-hour service managing all aspects of a property completely with its in-house team.

BNS has a reputation for strong local connections, rapid response times and reliability establishing it as one of the region’s leading property managing agents. Recently expanding into Retirement Living management as well as Health and Safety consultation, the company is becoming one of the fastest growing in the area with clients across the South West.

Iain Wain, Gloucestershire Cricket Sales Director, said: “BNS are a great business to work with, with an admirable sustainability ethos and an enthusiasm for our Club and the players. We’re delighted to have them on board as our latest sponsors and hope the relationship is a beneficial one for all.

“We’re very grateful for the support of many national, regional and local businesses as sponsors and partners of the Club.”
