KEVIN BRADLEY, PROPRIETOR HIGHLAND BAKERY “Highland Bakery has been sponsoring Finn Harps for several years through match sponsorships, advertising hoardings and joint radio advertising.

We are delighted to continue our association with Finn Harps due to the brand awareness and positive association the partnership has brought to our company.” ANDREW MULRINE, PROPRIETOR MULRINE MOTORS “Last season I booked two pitch-side advertising hoardings and sponsored a player with Finn Harps. I firmly believe this introduced my business and website Mulrine Motors to a new audience. The marketing mix of on-site branding, together with online coverage, created an awareness of my business which I would not get from standard advertising. I am happy to recommend sponsorship opportunities with Finn Harps and have already renewed my package for 2020.” IMAGE HERE

PAUL BRADLEY, OWNER BRADLEY TRACTORS “Even with a small advertising hoarding in Finn Park my company Bradley Tractors got so much coverage on social media and on TV it was well worth it! I am renewing for 2020 and looking forward to the new season.”
