Blues staying hydrated courtesy of Harlech Foodservice!

    The Blues have signed up with Harlech Foodservice for 2024/25, signing a water deal to aid matchday preparations.

    The First Team squad will be quenching their thirst with bottles of White Rock Still Water supplied as a sponsorship deal with Harlech.

    The carbon footprint couldn’t be much smaller either; with Harlech’s Chester depot on Bumpers Lane just a few hundred yards from the Deva Stadium and to further boost our green credentials the bottles have smaller labels and are made from lightweight recycled plastic.

    Goalkeeper Cameron Mason’s matchday equipment will include a bottle of White Rock and he said: “It’s vital to keep hydrated and it’s a real positive to have a quality product like this to drink.

    “Chester is a massive club at this level and they’ve got ambitious plans and I hope the experience I bring will help them this season.”

    Chester General Manager Albert Davies said: “Support like this from Harlech Foodservice is so valuable to us as a fan-owned club because it brings money back in.

    “It’s fantastic and we really appreciate the support we are receiving from Harlech who are near neighbours of ours and who also supply GWG Catering at the club.

    “We’re really excited about the new season. We’ve made some big signings including Cam, players who have been promoted before so we are very optimistic and feel we can have a really memorable campaign with Calum McIntyre as Manager.”

    The connection with Harlech Foodservice even extends to Harlech’s Regional Sales Manager for the UK – Simon Fowles was with Chester as a schoolboy while the deal was clinched by Marie Clerkin, Account Manager for Chester.

    She said: “It’s a nice short run for us to supply the caterers here at Chester FC and as a local business we want to support an important institution like the football club.

    “They are a community club and we want to get behind them and help them get back to where they belong.

    “They have really loyal supporters and they have stuck with them through thick and thin and let’s hope they have some success this season.”

    As well as their base in Chester Harlech operate from Criccieth, in Gwynedd, Telford in Shropshire, Merthyr Tydfil and Carmarthen and between the five locations, the company has increased employment to 250 staff and run a fleet of vehicles to deliver up to 5,000 product lines to cafés, restaurants, pubs and public sector customers across the whole of Wales, Shropshire, the Midlands and the North West.
