SMART Storage Altrincham has sealed a multi-season sponsorship agreement with Altrincham FC as the new season starts at the club.

This is just one of a number of initiatives to drive awareness of the self-storage company's newest store opening in Altrincham, located on Craven Road.

Bosses at Smart Storage say they are proud to be one of the new main sponsors of Altrincham Football Club, sponsoring the club’s mascot Rocky Robin and the family stand.

This also marks the start of another partnership where Smart Storage and Altrincham FC will be working together later this year to support the long standing charity work with the Children’s Adventure Farm Trust (CAFT) and the Christmas Toy Appeal.

The stadium will be a new collection point for gifts and the Craven Road storage facility a hub for the popular annual children’s toy appeal.

Jon Gardner, the new store manager at Smart Storage Altrincham, said: “The team is excited about bringing the best storage facilities yet to South Manchester.

"We have already let 80 per cent of the rentable space and we are inviting fans of Altrincham FC, businesses and residents to come see our impressive new premises.”

“We will hope to raise awareness of our local business to the fans at Altrincham FC and are thrilled to be on board with the club to run our successful charity campaign with CAFT this winter."

Storage is not the only facility offered at this new location with office space and hot desking also available.

Barry Pond, associate director, welcomed Smart Storage to Altrincham Football Club after visiting the new facility at Broadheath.

He said: "The Smart Storage Family Stand is a great example of real cooperation between local business and the Altrincham football community and is an exciting step forward.

"We would like to thank the team at Smart Storage for choosing to invest in the football club. The support of local companies is vital to the plans the club has within the community as well as on the pitch and I hope that it is the start of a long relationship between us and Smart Storage."
