A CROSS Hills firm has pledged its backing to a football club.

Regal Interiors has signed a three-year sponsorship deal with Silsden AFC.

Lucy Frost, senior manager at Regal Interiors, says: "We're delighted to be the club's new sponsor.

"We are a local, family firm and I believe it's essential that businesses try to give something back to their communities and provide whatever support they can.

"Silsden AFC does an amazing job, providing fantastic opportunities and facilities to people of all ages, especially the young.

"We're proud to sponsor the club and are looking forward to working with it over the coming years."

Through its sponsorship, Regal Interiors – based at The Crossings Business Park, Riparian Way – hopes the support will help with initiatives including expanding facilities for girls’ football and improving the pitches themselves.

John Lohan, Silsden AFC chair, says: "We're delighted to welcome Regal Interiors as our main sponsor. Our new partnership will enable us to provide the best facilities for our juniors, ladies, girls and senior men’s teams and enable both parties to raise awareness through various marketing opportunities in the region.

"Regal Interiors cares about people and the community, and supports charities through fundraising and other events. We look forward to working alongside it and being part of its success story in the years ahead."
