The Wightlink Warriors speedway team have this week welcomed 2 new sponsors for the forthcoming 2017 season.
Following their support in 2016, local firm MCM Construction Ltd, an established building and civil engineering contractor, has become a committed sponsor for the new season which gets underway next month.
MCM’s Managing Director, Brendan McMahon said:
“MCM are delighted to offer sponsorship to the Isle of Wight speedway. We have found the enthusiasm and dedication of those involved to be fully committed to making the speedway a major Isle of Wight attraction. Well done!”
Wightlink Warriors Commercial Director Barry Bishop commented:
“We are delighted to officially welcome MCM Construction to the sponsorship team. In 2016, MCM Construction lent us some machinery that helped us bring the track and stadium back to life and then during the season, several of the MCM team came to speedway to experience the Warrior Way on race night and even tried riding speedway bike with My First Skid.
“The team at MCM has explored every part of the club, to now have MCM Construction extend their sponsorship to Air fence banners, shows the Warrior Way is gaining approval from across the Island, UK and beyond.
“We are really proud to have Brendan and his team on board with us and it gives me great pleasure to say to MCM Construction Ltd, welcome to the Wightlink Warriors Sponsorship Team 2017.”
