Hot curry backing on the ice
Swindon Lions under 16s player Matthew Tregelles is making an
impact at the Link Centre ice rink sporting a team shirt emblazoned
with the Bombay Lounge logo.
“Matthew’s family are one of my oldest customers and when his dad
approached me for sponsorship I was more than happy to assist,” said
Lounge owner Hanif Robbani. “The shirt looks great; it brings a whole
new meaning to ‘aggressive in your face marketing.’”
When not on the ice, Matthew is a Link magazine distributor.
