TRANMERE Rovers have announced a major club partnership with North Star Environmental Ltd.

The two-year agreement will see the renaming of the Kop Stand to the 'North Star Environmental Kop'.

Peter Shaw, Tranmere Rovers' chief operating officer, said: "This is a fantastic deal for the Club.

"We have worked closely with North Star Environmental over the past 18 months which has included the sponsorship of the scoreboard for the 2015/16 campaign.

"North Star Environmental are a specialist environmental consulting company, based locally and run by local people, and like Tranmere Rovers, they have an ambition to succeed and develop their business in conjunction with the community within which they operate."

Ben Richards, managing director of North Star Environmental said: "We are pleased to be more involved in helping Tranmere move forward.

"Following on from the successful scoreboard sponsorship for the 2015/16 season, when the opportunity arose to further strengthen our commercial ties with Tranmere Rovers, there was no hesitation in making a decision."
