DURHAM County Cricket Club has announced a new sponsor.

Harbro Electrical, a family-owned business based in Peterlee which specialises in LED lighting, will become the club’s reverse shirt sponsor for the County Championship and official electrical partner.

Tom Seymour, the club’s sales director, said: “It’s fantastic to have Harbro Electrical join us as our reverse shirt sponsor.

“To have a local business backing the club highlights the support Durham CCC receives at a local level as well as our strong working relationships with regional businesses.”

Phil Harboard, managing director at Harbro Electrical, said: “We hope to play an important part in supporting Durham CCC on and off the field.

“We wish the club continued success for the coming season and are delighted to be sponsoring the back of the Specsavers County Championship shirt.”

Durham’s County Championship season starts at Somerset on Sunday, April 10.
