Harris Brush Up Alongside England Squash

Harris, the world class manufacturer of decorating products, has become an Official Supporter of England Squash following a one-year agreement with the sport's English governing body.

Founded in 1928, Harris is a thriving company, leading the way in product quality and innovation, and successfully supplying millions of decorators across the world. In 1961 the company was awarded the Royal Warrant in recognition of product excellence.

The agreement incorporates branding on England Squash's website www.englandsquash.com and match score-sheets, as well as title sponsorship of the annual Inter County Championships. Furthermore Harris will benefit from hospitality opportunities at major England Squash events as well as promotional opportunities to the Association's fast-growing membership.

Harris has timed its involvement with England Squash well - with Squash in England enjoying a notable resurgence since the sport's heyday of the late 70s and 80s. Increasing numbers of people are playing squash throughout the UK and - at the elite level and for the first time ever, England holds both the Men's and Women's World Team Championships titles in addition to both European crowns.

Nick Rider, Chief Executive of England Squash, said: "Harris is a household brand and we are delighted to welcome the company on board as an Official Sponsor. England Squash offers Harris an excellent platform to showcase its brand and we look forward a close and mutually beneficial working relationship."

Gary Jordan, Managing Director of L G Harris, added: "Being sponsors of England Squash affords us a great opportunity to talk to thousands of squash players out there who are as passionate about their game as we are about the decorating game.

"Squash is fast paced, energetic and innovative and in that sense represents a great fit with the way we do things at Harris, so we're looking forward to working together over the next year to help build both brands."
