Harrogate Town’s stadium on Wetherby Road has been renamed the EnviroVent Stadium ahead of the new season kicking off next week.
EnviroVent is a Harrogate-based manufacturer of ventilation equipment to homes and social housing, employing over 230 people at its Hornbeam Business Park headquarters.
The firm has a long-standing relationship with the club and has sponsored a stand for the past seven seasons.
2020 marks 100 years since the opening of the stadium, which was previously known as the CNG Stadium.
EnviroVent’s managing director Andy Makin said:
“We are delighted to extend our sponsorship of the club and obtain the naming rights. We are extremely proud of our local club, they have come very far over the past few years and have achieved so much recently.
“The club is an important part of the local community and it’s an honour to be able to play a part in its journey at this monumental time.”
A new main stand was recently constructed at the ground with close to 1,000 seats, boosting capacity to 5,000.
Garry Plant, managing director at Harrogate Town, added:
“We would like to thank EnviroVent for their continued support and look forward to working to making them proud!”
