When Kömmerling area sales manager, Jason Scrivens, was appointed the manager of semi-professional football club Shortwood United, he is said to have taken a little inspiration from the Bundesliga.
Kömmerling is the main sponsor for the Bundesliga team 1. FSV Mainz 05, which has just finished the season in 12th place, and so football is reported to be a major talking point within the business. As a result, the systems house is said to have decided to support Jason in his foray into football management, with a little corporate sponsorship for Shortwood United.
Founded in 1900, Shortwood United Football Club is based in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire and is currently a member of the Hellenic League Division One West. The team currently plays at the Meadowbank Ground with a capacity of 2,000 and shares the same red football kit as 1. FSV Mainz 05.
Jason commented: “The club has had a difficult few years and so my task is to help rebuild it, recruit players and to build for the future. We have lofty ambitions and so the sponsorship of the shirts from Kömmerling is most welcome and maybe we can even tap into the Mainz partnership over the course of the season.”
Gareth Jones, managing director of Profine UK and the Kömmerling brand, concluded: “It’s nice to support Jason, given our partnership with Mainz and wish him the very best for the season with our full support. However, I’ll be checking his call plan to make sure he’s still working on the nights he trains his lads!”
