Martin Thomas, Morecambe FC’s commercial manager, said: “It’s great to have a partner of Annapurna’s stature involved in the club.

“This is the first year of what we hope to be a long-standing partnership between Annapurna and the club and is the first of many new partnerships that we hope to announce shortly as we build the club’s off-field commercial activity.”

Annapurna was founded by its three partners, Nigel Fox, James Ballard and Charlie Appleyard in 2008.

Prior to this, they occupied positions in the senior management team of the FTSE 250 business SThree.
