Bed manufacturer Sealy is set to sponsor the fourth annual Furniture Makers’ Football Tournament at 1pm on Sunday 17th July, with proceeds going to the Furniture Makers’ Company, the charity for the furnishing industry.
The five-a-side tournament, which will take place at the Powerleague Centre in Derby and is supported by trade magazine Cabinet Maker, is the premier football event in the furniture calendar, with businesses from across the industry invited to enter a team.
Sealy’s own Vintage Clarets will be competing on the day, following the team’s success in the tournament last year when it took home the trophy.
Neil Robinson, marketing and sales director, Sealy, says: “The tournament is always a fantastic event and is one which has become a key date in the industry calendar. We’re delighted to be the main sponsor and even more pleased to be supporting such a worthwhile charity. It does so much for the industry and it’s great to be able to give something back. We hope to see lots of businesses supporting the cause by entering a team and coming down to Derby to take on the Clarets on the day!”
John Deary from the Vintage Clarets adds: “We’re excited to have been invited to compete in the five-a-side tournament again this year, by our shirt sponsor Sealy. Last year was loads of fun and we loved meeting teams from businesses across the UK, as well as raising money for a worthy cause. As professional players, we all had very strict training regimes and understand the link between sporting success and sleep – that’s why we support Sealy’s World of Sport campaign. We’re looking forward to defending our title in Derby in July.”
