We are delighted to announce that both the seniors and the Community Club have agreed a new supplier deal with RJM Sports, which will see the Grangemouth based sports store provide both with all of our kit and training clothing requirements. We have also moved to globally recognised brand Puma, which will feature on all of our strips and training kit.
This is a landmark agreement for club Bonnyrigg Rose, as it is the first time that both entities have agreed a single agreement with a kit supplier and signals the close working relatonship that we have. As part of that agreement, RJM Sports will host a combined club shop on their website where supporters/parents can purchase club merchandise. The RJM Sports brand will also feature their logo on the back of the seniors home and away strips. RJM Sports are current suppliers to SPFL sides Clyde and Stenhousemuir as well as fellow Lowland League sides Bo’ness Utd and Cumbernauld Colts.
Speaking about the deal RJM Sports MD Robert Marshall said “RJM Sports are absolutely delighted to be the exclusive Teamwear Supplier to Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic and Bonnyrigg Rose Community Club. We are fully committed as a company to ensuring our service, to such a prestigious and well run club, helps them to continue to develop and we look forward to building a successful partnership for many years to come.”
CFC chair Jim Wilson and Seniors Treasurer Brendan Parkinson commented “We have been working in tandem on this over the past few months and are pleased to be in a position to now formally announce the deal and launch the club shop. We were keen to go with a supplier who could fulfil the volume required of a combined club of our size and both Robert and Grant have been a pleasure to deal with and the quality of service received to date has been exceptional. The quality of the Puma kit speaks for itself. The combined club shop was also an important component of our agreement which allows us to concentrate on other club matters”.
