WANdisco Signs Sheffield Wednesday Shirt Sponsorship Deal

Global software development company WANdisco has become the shirt sponsors of Championship club Sheffield Wednesday for next season.

WANdisco’s logo will replace that of previous home shirt sponsor Gilder Honda.

Former Owls chairman Dave Richards co-founded WANdisco, originally based in the Silicon Valley, in 2005.

Lifelong Wednesday fan Richards, chairman and chief executive of the company, said: “I am thoroughly delighted to align the WANdisco brand to that of Sheffield Wednesday.

“This club always has and always will have a place in my heart and I could hardly be more proud that the WANdisco logo will adorn the home shirt of the Owls.”

Wednesday chairman Milan Mandaric added: “We take great pride in our commercial partners and WANdisco is the ideal fit for Sheffield Wednesday.

“Quite apart from being co-founded by a supporter of our club, WANdisco are renowned worldwide in the software industry.

“In addition, I have a tangible connection with the company given my own business background in Silicon Valley.”

WANdisco is recognised worldwide as an innovative market force with customers such as Nokia, Motorola, Disney, HP, BT, Barclays, Intel, Skype and EA.
