Partnership scores for Accrington Stanley Football Club and Clayton Park Bakery

The League Two side won the award for the ‘Director’s Choice in League 2’’ Category after dramatically improving their match day hospitality for the 2009/10 season when they teamed up with local bakery, Clayton Park Bakery.

Delighted MD at Clayton Park, Barry Thomas said: ”We are thrilled by this award which recognises our commitment to providing top quality pies. Using locally sourced ingredients, we work closely with our customers to make sure we provide the ideal range of pies for them. At Accrington Stanley our most popular pie is the potato and meat.”

Commenting on the award, Accrington Stanley’s Commercial Manager, Martin Edmundson said: “It’s an honour to win this award. The achievement marks just one of the developments taking place at the club and we are proud to be selected number one by the visiting Directors. We look forward to continuing our winning partnership with Clayton Park Bakery; in the upcoming season they will be providing catering for our external outlets and bars.”
