    New Shirt Sponsor - Orion

      Teaser Paragraph:

    Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC keep the positive news flowing with todays announcement that they have agreed a 2 year deal with new shirt sponsor Orion Group who now replace Flybe who had been the club main sponsor for the past 3 years.

    orion_sponsorAlan Savage of the Inverness based Orion Group will be no stranger to many Caley Thistle fans...being a fan himself and having spent time as Chairman of the club whilst investing around £270,000 in share capital in recent years.

    With such a tough economic climate still hanging over us in the UK, news of a new sponsor will be very much welcomed ahead of the Caley Jags return to the SPL.  Terry Buthers squad overturned a 15 point deficit to secure the SFL Division One title in remarkable fashion to finish with a 12 point cushion over closest rivals Dundee.

    A statement on the Orion Group Website reads....

    Alan commented: “Inverness Caledonian Thistle has played an important role in putting the city on the UK map and is a vital pillar of the community. As a business which has its roots firmly in the Highland capital we wanted to show our support for the club and players in what looks set to be a fantastic season.

    Along with the Caledonian Thistle fans and the Inverness and Highlands business community we are excited about seeing the club make a return to the SPL.”

    Club chairman George Fraser said: "This is exciting news which will be warmly welcomed by our fans. Orion Group is, like ourselves, a Highland success story and they have a long connection of assisting this club. Orion founder and chairman Alan Savage is a former Caley Thistle chairman and we're delighted that he has agreed an arrangement which will see our players wear the Orion name and logo on their shirts.

    The two year deal gives us very welcome continuity and financial stability following the expiry of our deal with FlyBe. Our directors are putting together a budget for the SPL and Orion Group’s input is very significant and beneficial. We anticipate the connection strengthening on various fronts."

    Orion Group sponsors a number of sports projects in the Highlands including; The Inverness Primary Football League and the Highland Rugby Club.

    The sponsorship deal is an important part of Orion’s Community Vision programme which sees the company support a number of charities and organisations within the Highlands, including Highland Hospice and Marie Curie Cancer Care.
