Monkhouse Intersport has been selected as the Official Retailer of The Co-operative World Netball Series and Official Partner of the event, which takes place in Manchester this October.
With a head office in Manchester, the 71-year-old family-run business is known in the industry for excellent service and for supplying both functional sports goods and schoolwear from its 20 sites across the North of England. The company’s reputation has allowed it to develop a niche for retailing at major national and international events, including the recent Aegon International Tennis tournament at Queens, the Hi-Tec World Squash Championships, the British Open Squash, National Badminton and Squash Championships, and European Hockey Championships.
“We’re excited about the opportunity to work with such a huge event,” says Peter Monkhouse, managing director of Monkhouse Intersport. “We have an interest in netball as it is a speciality sport which reaches our female audience. We are constantly looking at ways to improve our offering and netball has become a key part of that. Netball is now a core sport for Monkhouse Intersport and we plan to raise awareness of this through our website.”
