JAKO are also the Official Kit Partners to Conference clubs Tamworth FC, Hyde FC & Leamington FC.

Andrew Cotton, representing the club commented:
“This is excellent news for Horncastle Town. Our progression as a club with the new clubhouse facility and a kit deal like this ensure the progression and unification of our teams throughout. To draw such a name as Jako shows the club is moving in the right direction and I am delighted to have secured the brand as exclusive supplier.”

“As well as the quality of the brand there is a fantastic team behind it. Glen and his colleagues at Proactive have looked after the club superbly in the past and this was a major reason behind our partnership. I look forward our link growing and strengthening in the coming years and long into the future.”

Glen Wilkinson, Director of Pro Active Teamwear & JAKO UK commented:
‘Since we took over the JAKO brand license we have been looking for ways to improve on prices, service and incentives and have invented an initiative called the JAKO direct club scheme. Dealing direct brand to club means prices are more attractive and with the added loyalty bonus, it means the club will receive a free allocation of kit each year which adds to the partnership.

‘Horncastle Town FC have been a long standing customer of mine and we approached the club to put forward our proposals. They have been very good to me over the years and I am very pleased to continue servicing and supporting the club going forward’
