Surrey CCC Secures Jardine Lloyd Thompson

Surrey County Cricket Club has secured a major three-year partnership with the Jardine Lloyd Thompson group. The deal – which will see the company become the official sponsor of Surrey’s youth cricket programme and County Age Group scheme – is an expansion of the existing relationship that has been forged between Surrey and JLT in recent years.

Between 350 and 400 children will be playing in the County Age Group (CAG) scheme for Surrey this summer – and all will wear brand new shirts bearing the JLT logo.  Jardine Lloyd Thompson will also become a major partner of the Friends Life t20, providing a new award for the FLt20 Player of the Season which will be presented at the End of Season Awards on Thursday September 15th.

Speaking after signing the deal, Richard Gould, the recently appointed Chief Executive of Surrey County Cricket Club, said: “Developing young players is one of the most important things we do as a Club and the support of forward thinking companies like Jardine Lloyd Thompson is absolutely crucial to that. Having already enjoyed a successful partnership, I am very happy that JLT have decided to increase their involvement with us and look forward to working with them in the years to come.”

Duncan Howarth, Chief Executive UK Employee Benefits Group at Jardine Lloyd Thompson added: “These are exciting times for the club, with a mixture of youth and experience on the field and a new commercial focus off it. JLT, as a successful business based on teamwork, commitment and excellence shares common values with Surrey County Cricket Club. Our commitment to recognise and reward their performances on the field this season will sit alongside the opportunity to share great facilities at the Kia Oval with clients, partners and staff in what will be an exciting summer of international cricket.”
