MKM Building Supplies have become new significant sponsors of Carlisle United, agreeing a deal that covers the remainder of this season and the 2023/24 campaign.
MKM have kindly agreed to several sponsorships at the football club. This includes pitch side boards, ten matchday sponsorships and four season tickets.
We are delighted to have MKM on board with us and we are also extremely grateful for their support for the upcoming season.
We attended the MKM open day with manager Paul Simpson and players Josh Dixon, Taylor Charters and Tobi Sho-Silva. The lads had a go at the plantpot challenge but weren't successful in their quest to win a portable radio!
MKM are a builders’ merchant with a different approach to business, founded in Hull where their first branch was opened in 1995 and where their Central Support office is based. They have naturally expanded to bring excellent service to more and more customers with over 90 branches nationwide covering more than 20 counties in England and multiple branches in Scotland.
Commercial assistant Kerry Jardine said: "It was fantastic to meet the team from MKM on Monday and we are delighted to be able to welcome them on board with what will be a prominent sponsorship agreement.
“The conversations we had were extremely positive from the outset and it was clear that they had a real desire to work with us. That was fantastic for us to see, and we can’t overstate how important relationships like this are to the football club. MKM have a strong community ethos and we very much are looking forward to working with them.
“We’re looking forward to watching our partnership grow through what we hope will be a successful campaign again next season."
MKM Carlisle Branch Directors Jamie Ross and Nathan Mackay said: "We are really excited about our new sponsorship and community partnership with CUFC, which will allow both parties to strengthen not only our relationship, but also to extend this into the wider local community.
"We came to CUFC with a vison, and with brillant support from Kerry and the commercial team at Carlisle United, who have helped and guided us along the way to better impact our local community through the power of sport.
"By supporting Carlisle United and Carlisle United Community Sports Trust, this has allowed us to aid all the great work they provide in local schools, after school clubs, mini medics courses, football development scholarships, veteran's breakfasts and much much more.
"We have recently donated 20 tickets to the #10for10 scheme, where we will be donating tickets to local families and schools to help grow the interest and give children of all ages a chance to experience the fantastic match day atmosphere at Brunton Park. We urge all local companies to take part in this brilliant scheme.
"Together we will build long lasting foundations in our local community, MKM Carlisle and CUFC through the power of sport and materials securing the future of our beloved city of Carlisle."
