Signify kits out Histon FC Scholars
Signify is supporting its local football team by sponsoring Blue Square Premier League Histon FC Youth Academy's home kit. Histon FC famously reached the third round of the FA Cup last season beating Leeds Utd and Swindon Town on the way.
"We're delighted to have the opportunity to back our local football club's Scholars," said Dave Abraham, CEO Signify. "It is important to us to support the local community, particularly to help bring on younger members of the club and we are proud to have the Signify name on their shirts."
Histon Chairman Tony Roach commented "Our Academy is becoming an increasingly important part of Histon FC and gaining the support of a growing local company like Signify is very valuable and much appreciated."
About Histon FC
Formed in 1904 as Histon Institute F.C, the club played for many years in the Cambridgeshire Football League. John Chivers, the chairman of the major employer in Histon & Impington, the jam company Chivers, helped to found the Histon Institute in 1903, from where the football club has its origins. The Stutes were promoted as Champions of the Nationwide Conference South in 2006-07 - and currently play in the Blue Square premier, it's highest ever level. Histon's crest features a rose, the flower representing the rose-covered field given to the people of Histon & Impington in perpetuity for sporting activities in the community by local firm Chivers.
