Manchester-based broker CBG expands sports portfolio

CBG Group has teamed up with Blue Square Bet Premier division side Fleetwood Town.

CBG Insurance Brokers will provide a package of insurance that includes cover for Fleetwood’s newly renovated Highbury Stadium.

The ground has undergone major redevelopment in the last few years. In 2007, the new Percy Ronson stand was completed and in 2008, the new North and West stands opened.

Construction of the new East Stand began in May last year and it was partially opened for the match against Newport County in December.

When the work is completed, Highbury will have a capacity of 5,000.

Dave Mackie, business development director at CBG Group, said: “CBG has worked with Fleetwood Town for a number of years and, as a company, we’re extremely committed to working with a wide range of sports teams – from grass roots level, right up to the Premier League. The club’s had four promotions in the last six years and we’re delighted to be playing a part in its continuing success.”

He added: “The stadium’s undergone extensive redevelopment recently, providing fantastic facilities for players and fans alike. Therefore, creating the right insurance package was absolutely vital. CBG has extended and tailored the existing cover to meet the needs of a modern football stadium and the policy balances the appropriate level of cover at the right level of cost.”
