Scotland's largest independent plumbing merchant Plumbstore has backed Airdrie with a short sponsorship deal for the upcoming season.

​

One of the company's nine branches is in Bellshill, just a few miles from Airdrie, and they are long-time supporters of their "local-ish" team, funding corporate hospitality and lottery sponsorship over the last decade.

​

Chairman Tom Wotherspoon, Commercial Manager Dougy Allsop, and first team stars Marc Fitzpatrick and Iain Russell visited branch manager Christopher Sullivan yesterday to seal a deal which will see the Plumbstore logo emblazoned on the Diamonds' home shorts next season.

​

Chris told us a little bit about the business.

​

"We started in March 2005, and we sell anything and everything to do with the plumbing trade - from underground soils to combi boilers - and supplying to trade and individuals.

​

"We got involved with Airdrieonians through a mutual affiliate, and we jumped at the chance to support our local-ish team!

​

"We're excited by the club's new direction. 

​

"Going full time and training at Ravenscraig will have a positive effect on performances and hopefully get the club back to where they should be.

​

"It's great that our company can be a part of that!"

​

Airdrie chairman Tom Wotherspoon added: "We are delighted Plumbstore have joined as our new home shorts sponsor. 

​

"Plumbstore have been supporting the club for many years and we look forward to developing this relationship even further."
