Viridor to continue partnership with Livingston FC
Livingston FC is delighted to announce that current club sponsors Viridor will continue their partnership with the club for the 2020/21 season and beyond, being recognised as our official waste provider partner.
This will be the 3rd season that the largest UK-owned recycling, renewable energy & waste management company have been involved with the club, having first come on board midway through the 2018-19 season as we embarked on our return to the top flight.
Who are Viridor and what do they do though? The company’s full range of services includes: recycling and waste advice and auditing; advanced materials recycling; glass and plastics reprocessing; composting; mechanical & biological treatment; anaerobic digestion; waste to energy; transport; collection; landfill disposal; and habitat restoration and management.
Each year, Viridor transforms over two million tonnes of materials into high quality recyclate, and yet more into over 760 gigawatt hours of renewable energy. In total it safely manages over eight million tonnes of recyclables and waste materials for customers from all sectors across the UK.
Employing over 3,200 people, Viridor strives to be an environmentally, socially and economically sustainable business. All sites and services are operated under the company’s business management system incorporating the highest environmental, quality and health and safety standards.
Amongst their pitch side advertising boards, branding upon the South Stand, dugout sponsorship, player tunnel advertising and bespoke glass panels at the front of directors boxes, you’ll have also seen the numerous bright green, wheeled waste bins that are in position around the ground – all provided and taken care of by Viridor too.
Business Collections Manager of Viridor, Barry Neill said – “Viridor is very proud to continue our sponsorship of Livingston FC. It’s genuinely an honour to be linked to the club and we look forward to our company continuing to be associated with the team, both when spectators return to the ground and of course, through televised matches on Sky Sports and highlights on BBC. We are currently helping the club to achieve zero waste to landfill which is brilliant for everyone too!”
Club Business Development Manager Dave Black said – “We must offer a huge thank you to Barry and all at Viridor for their continued support of us here at Livington FC. While we’ve heard of many companies having to withdraw sponsorship at clubs up and down the country due to the challenging climate, the commitment from Viridor to continue their partnership with us is terrific news and real testament to all those involved in the decision making at the company.
“The significant financial backing they provide to the club really is crucial in allowing us to continue to develop both on and off the field.”
