GB Integrated Systems Proud to Support Women’s Football in Lancashire

Posted on September 3, 2025September 3, 2025 by Anna Smith

At GB Integrated Systems, we’re passionate about supporting local sport and this season we’re delighted to announce our sponsorship of Colne Ladies FC’s kit as well as Accrington Stanley Ladies FC’s talented player, Ashaara Bailey.

Our support for women’s football is part of a growing commitment to help grassroots and community teams thrive.

GBIS Director Scott Earing explains: “People might wonder why we are sponsoring more and more ladies’ football and netball players and teams as we move forward. The answer is simple — they need it more, and the little we can do, the more effect it has. If we can help just one or two up the ladder, then other companies might just follow in our footsteps.”

We believe that investing in local women’s sport not only benefits the players but also inspires the next generation. We’re proud to play our part, and we look forward to cheering on Colne Ladies FC and Ashaara Bailey throughout the 2025/26 season.

GBIS unveils the transformed Ray Kitchen Lounge at Colne Cricket Club

Posted on July 15, 2024July 17, 2024 by Anna Smith

GB Integrated Systems is proud to unveil Colne Cricket Club’s all-new sponsor’s lounge! In February, GBIS embarked on a mission to revamp the outdated space, now proudly named the Ray Kitchen Lounge, in honour of the late Ray Kitchen—a much-loved member, Chairman, President, generous sponsor, and committee member.

Our team dedicated themselves to this project, ensuring no detail was overlooked. The GBIS team along with local tradespeople, are thrilled with the outcome. The result is a modern, welcoming space designed for local businesses, families, and friends to gather, sponsor matches, and enjoy everything the local cricket club has to offer.

We extend our thanks to everyone involved in this project. Your support and hard work have been instrumental in bringing this vision to life.

Our aim? To create a welcoming environment where locals can gather, sponsored matches can be enjoyed, and cherished moments with friends and family can unfold. Here’s to many happy days to come in the Ray Kitchen Lounge.

GBIS is proud to announce our official sponsorship of Billy Priestly at Colne Football Club!

Posted on November 14, 2023November 14, 2023 by Anna Smith

We are delighted to announce that GBIS has become the official sponsor of the accomplished footballer, Billy Priestly. Billy’s journey in the world of football has been nothing short of impressive, having represented clubs such as Bradford Park Avenue, Salford, Southport, Alfreton, FC United, and Clitheroe.

Billy has now made a triumphant return to his roots, rejoining Colne FC. This homecoming is not just a personal milestone for Billy but also a momentous occasion for the red army and Colne as a whole.

Billy expressed his excitement, stating, “It’s an honour to return to my hometown club. Colne will always hold a special place in my heart, and I’m eager to contribute to the team’s success once again.”

GBIS is equally thrilled to be part of this moment in Colne FC’s history. As a local company, we recognise the importance of supporting local talent and local clubs. We believe that Billy’s experience and skill will undoubtedly enhance the team’s performance.
