iomart Group plc Announces Winners of Host Your Kit Sports Campaign

UK Cloud company iomart Group plc is proud to announce that 45 football and basketball teams have won free top quality team strips as a result of its Host Your Kit summer sports campaign for 2013.

Thirty football teams will receive a brand new adidas football kit and fifteen basketball teams will receive a brand new Spalding basketball kit after winning the cloud company’s second annual sports giveaway.

Phil Worms, Director of Marketing for Iomart Group plc, said: "Host Your Kit was even bigger and better this year. Over the two years we are proud to have helped 75 deserving youth sports teams across England, Scotland and Wales and we hope our contribution inspires them to success.”

This year’s Host Your Kit winners come from as far apart as Abergavenny to Aberdeen and range from a thriving football team in Bradford that brings together young boys from different communities through sport, to a disability basketball team in Scotland that’s just got enough members to play in a league for the first time.

iomart Group teamed up with top sports retailers Greaves Sports and Gilmour Sports as well as basketballscotland, the governing body of the sport in Scotland, to deliver this year’s Host Your Kit campaign.

Hundreds of clubs entered the competition which was promoted through social media on Facebook and Twitter.

The ethos behind iomart’s Host Your Kit campaign is to support communities which are encouraging young people to play sport.

Glasgow-headquartered iomart Group was recently named Europe’s leading Cloud Services Provider and owns and manages eight UK data centres, connected by a high-speed dark fibre network.
