Stone and tile specialist Lapicida has helped out its local under-10s football team by sponsoring their kit. 

The Knaresborough-based design-led company's name will now appear on the shirts of Knaresborough Celtic Junior Football Club.

A community-based football club founded in 1995, Knaresborough Celtic is run on a voluntary basis by the players' parents. Andy Clarke, Manager of the Under 10s,  says: “We are very grateful to Lapicida for supplying the new kits, which the boys all rushed home to try on.

"They were so delighted with it that their parents couldn't get them to take it off until bedtime, and even that was a struggle!

"They’re convinced the new kit is the reason they have been playing some great football and getting well-deserved wins.”

Lapicida’s Managing Director, Jason Cherrington, loves it. “It’s great to hear that these lads are so enthusiastic about their new kit. Lapicida were delighted to be able to help as part of our ongoing commitment to support local community projects.”

Lapicida is a leading specialist in luxury surfaces, supplying new and antique natural stone alongside ceramics and new-generation porcelains. The company is based on a 3-acre site in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, with extensive and spectacular showrooms as well as state-of-the-art workshops renowned for bespoke design and manufacturing, marrying leading-edge processes with traditional stonemasonry. The company works with architects, interior designers and retailers around the world.
