Huddersfield-based pharmaceutical manufacturer Thornton + Ross is a long-term supporter of Huddersfield Town - and word of their support is quite literally travelling around the UK!

Not only does their brand 'Radian B' appear proudly on the middle of the first team's away shirts, but Thornton + Ross have now had one of their delivery vans specially liveried up with the Town crest - their way of showing how proud they are to support the Terriers!

Thornton + Ross' Director of Consumer Marketing John Chamberlin, alongside Bob Lockwood from the company's transport department, brought the van to the Stadium recently; John is pictured next to it with Town's Commercial Director Sean Jarvis.

Sean told htafc.com that he is proud and delighted to see the van spreading the word about the relationship between the two organisations:

"Thornton + Ross has been a very close partner to Huddersfield Town for a number of years now; they are fantastic to work with and our relationship has really developed over time.

"The fact that they have - off their own back - decided to showcase their support of the Club is a testament to that relationship and I would like to thank John and his team for doing so.

"I take real pride in the fact that one of our partners wants to tell everyone about their partnership with Huddersfield Town. Hopefully it will make a few more people across the country aware of the things we are doing off the field here."

Sean and John proudly show off the new van!

International pharmaceutical company Thornton + Ross first joined forces with Huddersfield Town in March 2009, and muscle rub brand 'Radian B' has been proudly displayed across the front of the first team's away shirts ever since.

Formed in 1922 in Huddersfield - the year the Terriers lifted the FA Cup - Thornton + Ross employ over 425 local people - plenty of whom are Town fans! Once such man - Chris Taylor - helped to launch the 2011/12 away shirt by sporting it during his day job at Thornton + Ross (click HERE for more info).
