A CAR finance giant have become the new main sponsors of a golf club.

Colne car leasing and finance company XLCR Vehicle Management have invested around £4,000 as part of its new sponsorship with Marsden Park Golf Club in Nelson.

The funds will be invested towards signage, partnership schemes, offers for members, merchandise deals, flags and branding on the inside of cups.

Lee Duerden, CEO of XLCR Vehicle Management, said: “Marsden Park Golf club is a stunning golf course which I’ve had the pleasure of playing at over the years.

"Now, I can’t wait to see the continued growth of a club with so much potential to improve, putting so much effort into making it the best it can be whilst supporting the push for more junior golf, which is seriously lacking in our area.”

The Town House Road club first opened in 1968 and offers 18 different holes, measuring 5989 yards as a par 70.

It was later taken over by professional golfer, Neil Reeves, in 2017.
