The Club would like to thank Wickes for their support, as the DIY and home improvements company have come on board as our Ground Staff sponsors.

Following the company’s expansion plans which saw Wickes open a new store on Orchard Way in Torquay in November, the Club is delighted to announce that Wickes have come on board as TUAFC Ground Staff sponsors.

The sponsorship has seen the home improvement retailer supply United’s Ground Staff with branded jackets, showcasing the Wickes brand on the back, whilst also keeping those who are always hard at work on United’s pitch warm and dry during the colder months.

Wickes has a range of building products for both trade professionals and the general public looking to make improvements to their home, meanwhile the Torquay store boasts both a kitchen and bathroom showroom to enable customers to visualise potential home improvements. The store also has a number of professional design consultants on hand to offer advice and a free design service, as well as Wickes’ installation service.

Head Groundsman Julian Gouldthorpe, and United striker Aaron Jarvis visited the store recently where they met staff, had a look around the impressive showrooms, and had photographs taken at the premises, with Julian also showcasing his Wickes jacket. Following this visit, Official TUFC TV caught up with United’s Head Groundsman.
