We are thrilled to be able to announce a ground-breaking new kit sponsorship deal. Camm-Pro in conjunction with Mikeysline will commence as the club’s shirt sponsor from September 1st until the end of the 2021/22 season. And, in a further deal, Centurion Plumbing Services are to become our first ever shorts sponsor for the same duration. The shirt deal has been organised by local oil and gas consultancy, Sidecrystal, who have elected to forego their branding in favour of promoting local mental health charity, Mikeysline. This will see the Mikeysline logo appear on the back of our away and third shirts and with thanks to an agreement our with main sponsor Camm-Pro, it will also be displayed on the front of our new home shirt. Centurion Plumbing will have their logo on all shorts used throughout the duration of the deal. Mikeysline was founded in late 2015 in response to an increasing number of suicides in the Highlands. They run two services – a text message line and the Hive in Inverness city centre. Camm-Pro specialise in oil industry project management while Centurion Plumbing provide a wide range of domestic and commercial plumbing services to a diverse network of clients. Nairn County chairman Donald Matheson said: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Camm-Pro in conjunction with Mikeysline and Centurion Plumbing Services as sponsors of our new kit ahead of the start of the season." “It is a huge boost for the club for us to have been able to conclude these deals and I cannot thank our new sponsors enough for agreeing to support us and Mikeysline for giving us permission to carry their logo." “It is an extremely generous gesture from Sidecrystal to forgo their branding on the new kits to allow us to promote Mikeysline while added generosity from Camm-Pro will also see the charity displayed on our home shirt and we thank them for that as well.” He added: “Mikeysline do a staggering amount of amazing work across the local area tackling an issue which is heartbreakingly prevalent in Nairn and elsewhere in the Highlands." “We want to do what we can to help Mikeysline reduce suicide rates in the Highlands and by carrying their logo and contact details on our shirts, we hope to be able to raise further awareness of the fantastic work they do and the help that is out there." “We are also extremely thankful to Camm-Pro for agreeing to be a part of this joint venture. I look forward to welcoming the team from Camm-Pro to Station Park on match days as our main sponsor and I am excited about the prospect of a long and fruitful partnership between us." “Finally, having Centurion Plumbing Services on board as our first ever shorts sponsor is more great news. They are a company who values the importance of local sport with football at the heart of that and I am grateful to them for their contribution.” Mikeysline work towards tackling the stigma attached to having poor mental health and encourage anyone who is suffering to seek out the appropriate help. They provide services to open the conversation on mental health in an engaging manner with the goal of tackling head on the rate of suicide in the Highlands. Emily Stokes, Service Manager at Mikeysline, said: “We are delighted to have been invited to become a part of this joint venture." “Suicide is the leading cause of death among males aged 15-24 in the Highlands, which is an alarming statistic." “At Mikeysline, we aim to be there for anyone who is experiencing an emotionally challenging time through our text line service and our crisis drop-in at the Hive Centre to help provide a light for those who might feel like they are suffering alone and in darkness." “This venture can raise awareness across the Highlands and the rest of the north of Scotland of the services offered by Mikeysline and we are proud to be associated with Nairn County FC going into the new season.” Camm-Pro provide experienced, independent management teams who can assist to develop and drive an execution strategy to its proper conclusion. With a focus on workscope and interface protocol definition, Camm-Pro manage delivery to safeguard the best interest of the oil company at all times. With real experience of delivering in all stages of the project cycle, Camm-Pro ensure that the execution framework, project organisation, interface management and reporting structure are tailored to meet requirements. Simon McBain, Projects Director at Camm-Pro, said: “Nairn County do a fantastic amount of work throughout their local community, so when the opportunity came about to sponsor the club, it was an easy decision for us to make." “The club’s response throughout the Coronavirus pandemic was extraordinary, going above and beyond to help those in their local area who needed it most." “These are the same values we hold strongly at Camm-Pro, so it is a pleasure for us to now be associated with Nairn County." “We are also aware of the prevalent issue of suicide rates, particularly across the North of Scotland. If having Mikeysline on the front of the home shirt can help raise awareness and even prevent one death from suicide, it will have been more than worth it." “We are excited to attend our first match at Station Park as sponsor of the club and we would like to wish the management team, the players, fans and everyone else associated with Nairn County all the very best ahead of the new season.” Centurion Plumbing Services are based in Muir of Ord and provide customers with domestic and commercial plumbing and heating work of all scales and sizes. Ally Ewen, Managing Director of Centurion Plumbing Services, said: “We are delighted to be the club’s first ever shorts sponsor." “I have always enjoyed trips to Station Park for matches and we are all excited about this new venture and going along for a home match once the season starts." “It is also an honour for Centurion to have our logo displayed on the shorts at the same time as Mikeysline will be displayed on the team’s shirts. The work they do is tremendous and when we heard their logo would be displayed on the shirt it made it extra special for us to be coming on board as the shorts sponsor." “I have seen Nairn County play a few times over the last couple of years and I know what a strong squad of quality players they have assembled." "I would like to wish everyone at the club all the very best for the new season and I am looking forward to seeing the team in action once again sometime soon.”
