Children in Need

Visitors to our offices on Friday 14th November may have been taken aback to see staff in the pyjamas! Were they sleep-‘working’ or had they all set their clocks wrong?

It was none of the above, the staff decided to raise money for the Children in Need appeal by paying to work in their jim-jams, teddy’s were also in evidence on their desks – they even ventured out to other local offices to collect cash. The total collected was in excess of £350 so well done everyone.

Backing local sport!

29th September 2007

Clark Howes were match-ball sponsors at the recent British Gas Business Football League match between local rivals Brackley Town and Banbury United.

A crowd in excess of 700 were joined by representatives from the company, Jon Shepheard and Kirstan Boynton who saw Brackley snatch a vital 2- 1 win.

After the game the duo received the match ball from Saints full back Craig Farley.

As part of the sponsorship package the company had reserved seats in the directors box, a half page advert in the match-day programme and refreshments after the game.

BTFC Chairwoman Sara Crannage said "It is great when we can work alongside forward thinking local companies. We have big plans here at Brackley Town and look forward to continuing this link with our new dynamic friends"
