SPIRE PCM, a local business specialising in Project Planning and PMO, has announced its sponsorship of a youth football team. 

The firm has sponsored Bransty U10's team in Whitehaven. 

The company was founded by Kevin Kennedy and Martin Park, both of whom grew up in the Cumbria area and built their careers here before venturing out independently a few years ago. 

A spokesperson from Spire PCM said: "With strong connections to grassroots football from an early age, both Kevin and Martin now have children who have benefitted and currently benefit from being part of local youth teams.

"Driven by a desire to give back, they see the sponsorship as more than just a donation – it’s an investment in the future of the area’s young people.

"Grassroots sports, they believe, are crucial for children’s development, providing them with a sense of belonging, fostering teamwork, discipline, and resilience, and encouraging a healthy, active lifestyle from a young age.

"Kevin and Martin along with Spire PCM are dedicated to keeping grassroots sports alive in the community and intend to continue supporting local youth and sports initiatives for years to come."
