Introduction

The Football Trade Directory is now in its 13th year having been launched in 2007 and in that time we have worked hard to establish a niche service for the football industry.

2018 was a landmark year as we also launched the Rugby Trade Directory annual.

Our original aim: ‘To put business in front of football clubs and put football clubs in front of businesses’ continues to be as valid now as it was back in 2007 and equally applies to rugby.

We have achieved this by developing a robust network of contacts which in our view are second to none in the sports industry.

This has enabled us to provide tangible benefits for our

many and varied clients. We have multiple marketing channels to help your business:• Membership• Events• Annuals• E marketing• Networking• Social media• Consultancy

We are also pleased to be helping a number of Football League and Non-League clubs with their commercial and sponsorship activities.

John Booth*, Managing Director*John has over 20 years’ experience in the football and rugby industry, having been General Manager at Preston (9 years) Commercial manager at Stoke City (3 years) and more recently Consultant Director at Port Vale (2 Years). He also helped Lancashire Lynx RFL.

T01582670100www.hy-pro.co.ukThe incredible success of Hy-Pro over

the last decade has transformed the

company into the pre-eminent

outdoor manufacturer in the UK. Now

operating on a worldwide scale with

major international customers whose

businesses span the globe, Hy-Pro is

in a position to build on that success.

Yet constantly battling to keep kids

active and outside, Hy-Pro’s

unyielding service to the outdoor

sector has often been against

increasingly unhealthy modern trends.

Whilst this mission was initially

focussed on licensed product, � rst

from major sports brands and later

from the world of character

entertainment, Hy-Pro has now begun

to expand beyond the licensed niche.

Our football factory has gained

approval from Adidas (SCSA audit).
