Sussex’s home will officially be known as The BrightonandHoveJobs.com County Ground for at least the next three seasons.

The employment specialists sponsored the Boundary Rooms, Sussex’s hospitality facilities, last summer and have now strengthened their relationship with the club.

In addition, BrightonandHoveJobs.com have relocated their sales and marketing team to a new base on the eastern side of the ground.

The company’s chief executive, Gary Peters, said: “The sponsorship of Sussex CCC is not only a significant investment into the expansion of the cricket club but also a further commitment to our local area - particularly in the area of job advertising and employment advice.

"Our relationship with Brighton and Hove Albion continues to go from strength to strength but, as was always the case, our two-year shirt sponsorship comes to an end at the end of this season.

"Ensuring our brand continues to be associated with the very best sporting and cultural facilities locally is imperative and this sponsorship couldn't have been better timed. It really is a dream come true to be so involved in one of the country's most successful teams.”

Sussex chief executive Zac Toumazi added: “Year on year the club continues to develop and nurture strong commercial partnerships, in the truest sense, with leading Sussex businesses.

“It is particularly pleasing to see an expanding local company like BrightonandHoveJobs.com increase their involvement in the club and take their place as a major part of the Sussex family. We look forward to working together for the benefit of both parties.”
