A North East print company is offering free England banners to help venues get into the football spirit.

WTTB, based at the North East BIC in Sunderland, is giving away 250 one-metre by half-metre PVC banners ahead of England’s World Cup clash against Norway this Saturday.

The company has been flooded with orders from bars, pubs, and fan zones requesting football-themed promotional materials as excitement continues to build around England’s progress in the tournament.

Louise Stephenson, managing director of WTTB, said: "Even before the World Cup began, we were in the grip of football fever.

"With so many fan zones popping up and bars and pubs wanting to entice fans to watch the games at their establishment, we were inundated with requests for football branded materials."

WTTB has already created a giant banner for the outside of their office and is seeing continued demand as the national team advances in the competition.



Ms Stephenson said: "Now that England are doing so well there are even more places wanting to get in on the action - and we’re all geared up to help them to do that."

Ms Stephenson said: "This is just us doing our bit to ensure that everyone in the North East, who we know is fully behind the team, gets the opportunity to show their support."

Anyone interested in a free banner is asked to email louise.stephenson@wttb.co.uk and collect it from the WTTB office at the BIC on Friday (July 10).
