FCI Drive Forward with Kit Sponsors
FCI can today announce they are teaming up with Hampshire-based football & cricket coaching providers, Forward Drive, who will be the club's Official Kit Sponsor for the 2013/14 season.
The favoured red and white home kit will bear the Forward Drive logo across the front, giving the company exposure to the growing Solent Churches Football League and it's numerous affiliated clubs.
FCI Defender Paul Redhead, Football Coach at Forward Drive
The company, set-up by Oliver Hoghton and Jordan Florit in 2012, has enjoyed a successful summer, running the Trojans Cricket Club holiday camp, sponsored by Lloyds TSB, and are now looking forward to the football season, with the October Half-Term Football Course on the horizon.
As part of the deal, FC Independence will become Forward Drive's Official Football Partner and will see their match previews and reviews feature on the Forward Drive website, for all to see.
The link between the Coaching Provider and SCFL Division 2 Champions has been proving beneficial for a while now, with FCI players Wesley Regular, Sam Ford and Paul Redhead all becoming coaches for Forward Drive since the cricket specialists expanded into Football Coaching earlier this year.
As the company expanded, the FCI link continued to be beneficial, as Jordan Florit, co-director at Forward Drive saw his role expand into Head of Football and Recruitment and Mike Florit, another FCI player, bought a stake in the business, becoming part-owner.
Forward Drive and FCI are now both looking forward to a successful season in partnership - where results from the coaching ground to the football pitch all matter - and hope you can be a part of it!
