We are delighted to announce that Portt & Co will be our main home shirt sponsor for the 2020-21 season.
The new shirt will be a limited edition kit for one year only which will be unveiled soon but we can confirm that local business Portt & Co will be the main sponsor and have their name proudly printed on the front of the home shirt. They have been club sponsors for several seasons via Goal Announcements on our Twitter account and perimeter board advertising and we are now thrilled that they have extended their sponsorship further. Supporters will be able to purchase the shirt in due course which will not only will support the club but also benefit Love Musgrove, the official charity of our local Musgrove Park Hospital, who will receive £5 for every home and away shirt sold.
Founder of Portt & Co Matt Portt commented:” We are proud to align ourselves with such a well-run club in the heart of our hometown. At Portt & Co, we work exclusively with aspirational organisations, which made sponsoring Taunton Town’s home shirt a very quick and easy decision for us. The 2020-21 season is going to be filled with uncertainty, but in all walks of life, uncertainty creates opportunity and Rob has assembled a great team by moving early in the close season, which was only possible due to the club being on solid footings. We see Taunton as a brilliant base to serve our own national aspirations and this opportunity allows us to help the town’s Football Club in their goal of getting into the National Leagues. I’m confident that the coming season will be a successful one for the team and we are looking forward to forming deeper collaboration with the club.”
Town Chairman Kevin Sturmey added:” I am delighted that Matt Portt has agreed to become our main shirt sponsor for next season. In these difficult times it was a huge relief when Matt offered to invest more into the club. Portt & Co came on board during the epic FA Cup run of 2016 and has been a loyal sponsor ever since while Matt’s experience has also been vital in giving us a different perspective by seeing the club through a sponsor’s and business person’s eyes. We have a catch up every year and each year Matt helps me see things differently.
Portt & Co have been our Goal Gif sponsor on Twitter for a few seasons and there will also be an announcement about this soon as there will be a new sponsor this season thanks to Matt. I always enjoy discussing the future with Matt as he is innovative and forward thinking, having experience of working for a Football League club in the past so has great knowledge of football “behind the scenes”. He is also going to help us with some of our off-field activities as the new normal is going to be very different to the old ways.
Thanks Matt, we look forward to next season when it is safe to start and continuing to build a long-lasting partnership to help us achieve our goals.”
