Banbury Cricket Club nets support from Persimmon Homes

Persimmon Homes South Midlands, currently developing the Wykham Park estate in Banbury, has signed on as a sponsor for Banbury Cricket Club.

The club, re-established in 1949, now has nearly 200 youth players aged five to 19.

Martin Phillips, chairman of Banbury Cricket Club, said: “We are immensely proud of the youth section we have built, and this is only possible with the ongoing support of companies such as Persimmon Homes.

“We’re delighted they have joined the ‘family’ and look forward to working them as the season progresses.”

Clare Bright, sales director at Persimmon Homes Midlands, said: “At Persimmon Homes as well as building home, we are building communities which aligns very much with the ethos of Banbury Cricket Club.

“They have a very engaged group of volunteers, coaches and parents, with an abundance of fixtures year-round and we’re delighted to be part of it.

“I wish them lots of success for the coming season.”

Persimmon is currently constructing the second phase of its Wykham Park development.

The company, established in 1972, operates from 29 regional offices across the UK and employs more than 5,000 people, supporting around 86,000 jobs in the construction sector.
