14, Sep 07	Rossendale Interiors backs Borough Bacup Borough should be able to throw the kitchen sink at teams when the new football season kicks off — after landing a sponsorship deal with kitchen and bedroom retailer , Rossendale Interiors. The showroom , which is based on Newchurch Road in Stacksteads , has become the main stand sponsors at Borough West View ground in a four-figure deal. “This is a fantastic boost for the club,” said Brent Peters , manager of the North West Counties League Club. “Teaming up with a local business like this is vital for a club of our stature — without the support of sponsors like Rossendale Interiors it would be very tough for a club like ours to compete. “The company is widely respected in the area and I only hope that this deal will help encourage other businesses to follow suit.” Rossendale Interiors Showroom Manageress , Doreen Cunliffe said: “We are pleased to be able to support one of our local sides. ” Rossendale Interiors is one of the area’s leading Lancashire kitchen and bedroom retailers with showrooms in Stacksteads, Blackpool and Ulverston. The Rossendale showroom alone has more than 40 displays. The company is the retail arm of J and J Ormerod plc (JJOplc) which is one of the largest kitchen and bedroom manufacturers in the country.
