The organisation also provides support services for OpenAccounts and eBIS, finance business intelligence dashboards and have clients across a variety of industries in the UK.
Mike Charles, Director and Co-Founder at Escone Solutions, said: “Aberdeen football is a huge part of this city we think it’s important to support businesses in our region. When the opportunity came up to sponsor Tony, it was a natural fit. Tony is a very well-respected coach, and he is bringing valuable experience to the club.
He added: “Tony’s been working at the highest level of Scottish football and was a fantastic servant to the club in his original position. We’re proud to support him and to strengthen our connection with Aberdeen FC and the local sporting community.”
The sponsorship is the latest in a series of steps by Escone Solutions to build its presence in the North-east business and sporting landscape. The company plans to share further updates on the partnership across its website and social media channels throughout the season.
