SPEEDWAY: The Vortex Hammers have added another new sponsor ahead of the start of the 2018 season.

With the countdown to their opening night underway with the Lee Richardson Spring Classic on Friday, March 23 (8pm) the club has announced Asbestos Solution Providers Ltd (ASP) have joined the club as a new associate sponsor for 2018.

ASP is a Buckinghamshire-based consultancy that specialises in Asbestos.

The Hammers’ commercial manager Russell Keetch said: “We are thrilled to announce Asbestos Solution Providers Ltd as a new associate sponsor for 2018.

“They are new to the sport, a family run business and although based in Buckinghamshire, feel that the Lakeside Hammers provides the brand exposure and community connection within a very competitive market in London and the south east.

“The family ethos that the sport and the club provide was a great contributing factor in the deal.

“Welcome to the Hammers family Joe, Kate and Aron Johal and to all of your employees and thank you for your support.”

ASP managing director Joe Johal added: “Knowing Russell personally through our business dealings, his invitation to become an associate sponsor with its opportunity to be part of a very family orientated sport and promote the business was eagerly accepted. We would like to wish the promotion, the riders and fans good luck for the forthcoming season.”
