INEOS ENTERPRISES PROVIDES LOCAL FOOTBALL TEAM WITH A BOOST

Runcorn based chemical company INEOS Enterprises has purchased a brand new football kit for one of its local football teams in Halton, Heath Rangers JFC Under 10’s. The Company provided a donation of £300 to buy the new football strip.

The Club's old kit had seen better days and they were in desperate need of a replacement. As the team draws youngsters from the local area and trains at Runcorn Heath, which is close to the Company's chemical site in Weston Point, INEOS Enterprises was the obvious choice to help out. In addition, the team has close links with INEOS as a number of the parents work for the Company.

The Heath Rangers team competes against other local teams in the area and has been extremely successful winning its league for the last two consecutive seasons.

Team Manager, John Dursley, said: “We are really pleased that INEOS Enterprises has been able to sponsor our new kit and the kids are over the moon with it. A kit can really make a difference to a team’s morale and it also helps demonstrate that the team is well supported by all aspects of the community. The support INEOS Enterprises has provided ensures the team looks as good as they play!”

Janet Ward, INEOS Enterprises Community Relations Manager, said: “We are thrilled to be able to help Heath Rangers JFC with its new kit, and they even have our logo printed proudly on the front. This sponsorship is particularly important as it is a great way of building relationships with local people, both adults and children, who live right next door to us – so this is just brilliant!”
