Evolve Document Solutions has extended its sponsorship agreement with Great Harwood Cricket Club – meaning five consecutive years of its ground sponsorship agreement with the East Lancashire Cricket Club.
The Preston-based business began its partnership with the club in 2021, securing naming rights for the Cliffe Park ground, which continues to be known as the Evolve Document Solutions Cliffe Park.
Over the past five years, the sponsorship has supported ongoing investment in community cricket facilities and helped to fund junior development initiatives.
As part of the ongoing agreement, Evolve Document Solutions maintains signage around the ground, on-site advertising, and hospitality access on match days. The arrangement provides financial backing that enables the club to plan improvements and continue delivering cricket opportunities to a broad range of local participants.
Evolve Document Solutions managing director Daniel Maddox said: “Reaching five years of sponsorship feels like a proper milestone for us. Supporting Great Harwood Cricket Club has been about more than just putting our name on the ground – it’s about standing with a community that shares our values. We’re proud to be part of that.”
Since the partnership began, the club has reported year-on-year growth in junior player numbers and hosted several community events supported by the sponsor. The collaboration is part of a wider effort to promote sport and engagement in East Lancashire, particularly among young people.
The club continues to operate across multiple junior and senior levels, with facilities at the ground being used for matches, training sessions, and local cricket outreach. The visibility provided by Evolve’s sponsorship has also contributed to increased commercial interest and footfall at the club.
Stuart Maher, Chairman of Great Harwood Cricket Club, said: “We’ve built a strong relationship with Daniel and the team at Evolve. Their continued backing has helped us improve the club in real, visible ways – from coaching resources to ground maintenance. It’s great to have a sponsor who genuinely gets what we’re trying to do here.”
The club and Evolve Document Solutions have confirmed that the partnership will continue into the 2025 season, with further collaboration planned for junior development programmes and community initiatives.
