Eagle eyed Thistle supporters may have noticed an additional sponsor on Thistle’s kit during last week’s League One opener against Clyde.
With just hours to go before the league season began, Forrest Precision Engineering signed up as the club’s second back of shirt sponsor this season. Signing a bumper five-year deal with the Jags, Forrest Precision Engineering (FPE) will enjoy seeing their company logo appear above the number on the back of the Thistle home kit, and below the number on the away shirt, throughout the 2020/21 campaign.
Based just a couple of miles from Firhill Stadium in Springburn, FPE is one of Scotland’s leading precision engineering and special purpose machinery manufacturers, well known for manufacturing special purpose machinery involving textiles, paper and leather. In addition to the back of shirt sponsorship, FPE has also purchased advertising boards around Firhill Stadium with the intention to take up match sponsorship at games when restrictions are relaxed.
Thistle Chief Executive Gerry Britton said: “We’re extremely happy to welcome Forrest Precision Engineering into our growing family of sponsors. It was great to see their logo added to the back of our kit in time for the start of the league campaign and we look forward to enhancing their experience as a club sponsor throughout the season and the five years ahead.”
Scott Forrest, Managing Director of Forrest Precision Engineering, said: “As a business so close to Firhill, we are delighted to be supporting our local professional football club. We are all very excited by the opportunities around this new sponsorship and see it growing into a community partnership that will get stronger and stronger throughout the duration of the deal. With a five-year agreement in place, we see this as a journey between Partick Thistle and Forrest Precision Engineering during which we will be proud to support our local football team on and off the pitch.”
