The sponsor deal comes just a month after PDMS’ recent acquisition of certain parts of the business and assets of Glasgow based Maxima Information Group Limited, which has significantly expanded PDMS’ operations in Scotland. Head of sponsorship and international tickets for Hawick, Charlie Oliver, attended PDMS’ official launch in Scotland in April 2014.

Once PDMS were aware of the sponsorship opportunities with Hawick, they were keen to get involved – demonstrating their commitment to the local community.

PDMS Sales Director, David Stickland said: “PDMS have a track record of sponsoring local sporting teams in the Isle of Man throughout our 21 year history and we wanted to continue that tradition in the home of our newest office.” The Greens have made a decent start to the 2014/15 campaign.

And the club is glad to have received further support for the year ahead.

Charlie Oliver said: “Commercial sponsorship is vitally important for community rugby clubs like Hawick. Support comes from local firms and also companies like PDMS seeking a foothold in new areas of the country. In return for their generous support we look forward to increasing the profile of PDMS in the Borders and wider afield.” PDMS have delivered software projects to companies and public sector organisations around the United Kingdom and further afield for over 20 years.

They place much importance on having a presence in the areas they work in, whether that be through office space, sponsorship or charitable links. This new sponsorship deal gives PDMS a presence in the Borders, which they hope will lead to further development within the area.

David Stickland added: “We’ve been greatly encouraged by the response from the Scottish market since we opened our Glasgow office in April. Hopefully this new link with Hawick will help us to continue raising our profile in the borders and surrounding areas”.
