TYRE brand Davanti has announced a new commercial partnership deal - as Everton Football Club's official tyre partner starting from 2017.

The three-year commercial sponsorship deal was signed in August 2017 by Alan McTavish of Everton Football Club and Peter Cross, general manager of Davanti Tyres at Goodison Park.

Davanti, based in Newton-le-Willows, was launched in 2015 and now carries more than 10 different patterns of tyres ranging from smaller passenger cars, heavy duty commercial taxis/van tyres, to high-performance SUV/4x4, and winter tyres.

Davanti's general manager Peter Cross said: "Growth in the global market is key to our expansion plans and this partnership allows us to collaborate with the club on a number of projects to promote our brand in conjunction with the globally recognised Everton brand."

Alan McTavish, Everton's head of commercial partnerships, said: "We're delighted to welcome Davanti Tyres to our growing portfolio of partners, in a summer which has been busy both on and off the pitch.

“Everyone at the club is looking forward to collaborating with Davanti, both here in the UK and globally in their key markets. Through a strategic and creative activation programme, we can really bring this partnership to life."
