Local football team kicks-off third year sponsorship from our development in Monifieth

We are delighted to confirm that Monifieth Athletic Football Club’s 2009 team has kicked off their third season with us as their team shirt sponsor for the next two years.  

Coach and treasurer for the club, Richard Heggie said: “During our first two years, this young team has worked very hard and they have enjoyed some local success. Next year will see us sending two teams go to the Copa Jordi Tournament in Blanes, Spain - signalling just how far the team has come already. 

“Taylor Wimpey’s ongoing support for the next two years means that we can replace the strips for our growing young stars. The strips are a very important part of creating a team the children are proud to play for, and we are very grateful for Taylor Wimpey’s continued support of initiatives like ours in the local community.” 

Kirsty McGill, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey East Scotland adds: “We’re really proud of the support that we provide to a range of groups and organisations across the east of Scotland, and we are very happy to have the opportunity to extend our support to Monifieth Athletic Football Club for another two years. 

“The work we do is a lot more than just building high-quality homes. Being able to work with local businesses and organisations that surround our developments means a great deal to us, and it’s great to know that we are helping to establish this team within the local community.”

Our donation to Monifieth Athletic is one of the many contributions being made by us towards community facilities and infrastructure in the wider area.

Local football team kicks-off second year sponsorship from Taylor Wimpey in Monifieth

Monifieth Athletic Football Club’s 2009 team has kicked off their second season with Taylor Wimpey East Scotland as its team shirt sponsor.

Soccer School Co-ordinator, 2009 coach and treasurer for the club, Richard Heggie said:  “We’ve enjoyed a great start with this young team and our 2009’s had an impressive first season last year.  

“Having Taylor Wimpey’s support for two years has made such a difference in helping us to establish a football team with a professional outlook from day one.  The strips are a very important part of creating a team the children are proud to play for, and we are really grateful for Taylor Wimpey’s continued support of initiatives like ours in the local community. 
  
“The 2009 team as completed a successful first season and now established in the 7 a-side set-up.  Their second season at 7-a-side kicks off from March this year and the team will continue to progress and ultimately still be playing as a team at under 19s like our older teams at the club. 

“As we’ve settled into our stride as a team, it’s also great to see the new homes at Taylor Wimpey’s development coming to life, with people moving in and setting up home.”
Kirsty McGill, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey East Scotland adds:  “We’re really proud of the support that we provide to a range of groups and organisations across the east of Scotland, and we are very happy to have the opportunity to extend our support to Monifieth Athletic Football Club for another year.  

“The work we do is a lot more than just building high-quality homes. Being able to work with local businesses and organisations that surround our developments means a great deal to us, and it’s great to know that we are helping to make a difference to the lives of people in local communities.”

A visit to our development in Monifieth inspires the next generation

Nursery children aged just three and four years old, were given an exciting opportunity to see our new homes that are under construction at Victoria Grange in Monifieth as part of learning more about their local area at nursery.

Youngsters from the morning session from The Grange Nursery in Monifieth explored our development to see how we build new homes.  There was a chance to see some of the various machines that help to move materials on-site, and the children had the opportunity to visit the two show homes and had fun picking their favourite bedroom. 

Our team enjoyed having the opportunity to inspire the next generation of future homeowners as Duncan Currie, Site Manager leading the delivery of the construction of the affordable homes at Victoria Grange adds:  “We are really proud of our Victoria Grange development as well as the part we play in the local community here, and we really enjoyed meeting the children from The Grange nursery.

We get children at Seaview Primary reading with a donation for new books

We have donated £250 to Seaview Primary School’s library in Monifieth to celebrate World Book Day, which took place on Thursday 1st March. World Book Day aims to encourage more children to love reading and Taylor Wimpey’s donation will go towards providing children in school with many more new books to enjoy.

Scott Haxton, Headteacher at Seaview Primary School, which is located near to our Victoria Grange development, commented: “I would like to say a big thank you to Taylor Wimpey on behalf of everyone at our school. We really appreciate their donation, which will go a long way towards new reading material. Books are a great way to fire up children’s imaginations and to teach them about the world around them, so it’s brilliant to be able to add some new titles to our school library.”

Local football team scores sponsorship in Monifieth

We have shown our support for local community football in Monifieth by providing the sponsorship for two years to the 2009s at Monifieth Athletic Football Club.

Soccer School Co-ordinator, coach and treasurer for the club, Richard Heggie said:  “We’re thrilled to have received this support from Taylor Wimpey East Scotland for the next two years.  It has helped us to establish our new 2009s boys’ team and provide them with professional football strips, and we are grateful for their support of initiatives like ours in the local community. 
  
“The 2009 team is currently playing as part of our Soccer School as well as Fun Football Festivals that are held across the area.  They will start to play 7-a-side from March next year and they will progress each year ultimately to under 19s.  

“Setting up a new team at the same time as Taylor Wimpey has opened its development of new homes at Victoria Grange provides the ideal timing to launch our sponsorship.”

Commenting on the sponsorship, Kirsty McGill, Sales and Marketing Director said:  “We support community football teams across the east of Scotland, so it’s great to extend that support to Monifieth Athletic Football Club and for them to be able to establish a new team.  

“This sponsorship allows us to show our support in the local community, and it also gives us the opportunity to underpin our commitment to create a fantastic range of family homes at our Victoria Grange development in Monifieth.”
