James Phipps, CEO at Excalibur said; “We were delighted to win the contract with Somerset, we’re helping the club with a new strategy for their communications, with the aim of improving productivity and generating more revenue for them. The products that we provide eliminate the need for the club to be dealing with several different suppliers too, the buck stops with us! As a company, Excalibur have a huge interest in sport and we know how hard it is for seasonal sports to survive during the months where they aren’t pulling the crowds in. As a result, we were more than happy to give something back via sponsorship and the revenue share scheme for new business referrals.”
