The Haydn Road based site of The Co-operative Motor Group has announced an official partnership with Notts County Football Club, which sees the business become our official preferred car supplier.

The initial agreement will run for the 2010/2011 season and will see The Co-operative Motor Group provide vehicles for use by the First Team Manager Craig Short, Assistant Manager Dave Kevan and the Head of Conference & Banqueting Paul Fearon.

The trio will now be driving a Nissan Qashqai, a Chrysler 300c and a Dodge Journey all thanks to Co-operative Motor Group.

Part of The Co-operative Group, The Co-operative Motor Group, re-branded from Sunwin Motors last year, will be promoting the partnership at the Haydn Road site, which includes Renault, Nissan and Chrysler Jeep Dodge dealerships through a series of joint marketing and branding initiatives, via club spectator engagement on matchdays and on the Official Site.

Notts County Chairman Ray Trew said: "This is another superb partnership that demonstrates the valuable support the club has amongst the business community.

"The Co-operative Motor Group recognised the benefits we could bring to their business - and they filled a need we had for some quality vehicles.

"We hope it's the start of a long and very successful partnership."

Gary Dighton, General Manager at The Co-operative Motor Group, Nottingham, said: "We're excited to become the preferred car supplier to Notts County.

"In-keeping with our own brand, the club has a strong heritage and is committed to caring for the community, running education and social inclusion programmes."
