YCCC knocked for 6 by Miller Homes' sponsorship

England and Yorkshire Cricketer Matthew Hoggard and Yorkshire County Cricket Club Chief Executive Stewart Regan were bowled over thanks to the news of the club’s new sponsor, Miller Homes.

Steve Birch, managing director of Miller Homes Yorkshire said: “This is a great opportunity for Miller Homes. Being part of the community is something we strive to achieve where all our developments are positioned and now being sponsors of Yorkshire County Cricket means that we can show our support for the whole of the County too.”

Stewart Regan, YCCC chief executive commented: “On behalf of The Yorkshire County Cricket Club I would like to take this opportunity to say that we are delighted to have formalised a sponsorship agreement with Miller Homes for the 2007 season. Miller is already a nationally recognised brand and developing a substantial presence within Headingley Carnegie Stadium can only serve to increase the company’s profile even further.”

Miller Homes is committed to supporting local organisations and understands its continued dedication to customers and their children builds positive relationships and future communities. Miller is therefore delighted the sponsorship will also support the children’s activities run by the Cricket Club.

Stewart continued: “As well as allowing us to sign international stars such as Younus Khan and Jason Gillespie the income the club generates via sponsorship is vital to ensuring that we can continue to fund both the YCCC Academy and our ‘Cricket in the Classroom’ programme. It is impossible to over-state the importance of providing opportunities for the children of the county to become involved, at any level, with our great club. We thank miller Homes for their valued support and hope that our relationship will continue for many successful seasons to come.”
