BASINGSTOKE Bison have gone into partnership with leading car dealership, The Autoplaza Group.

The company, which supplies a wide range of new and used cars from their Houndmills base, have agreed to supply two branded cars, a Citroen and a Peugeot, which will be used by the players.

Jane Saunders, group marketing manager at The Autoplaza Group, said: “We have been looking to get involved in the community in a bigger way for a while and are really pleased to have linked up with the Bison.

“It’s good to be involved with the team but we are also keen to help out with the younger age-groups.”

Doug Sheppard, Bison player/coach, added: “We are thrilled to have The Autoplaza Group on board.

“They are Basingstoke’s biggest car dealership so it’s great to have them involved with the Bison.”
