Hat-trick of deals: IT firm Northgate in sponsorship action

NORTHGATE Managed Services, the IT firm, has scored a hat-trick of "business goals" by renewing its sponsorship deal with Glasgow City Ladies football club and netting a pair of key contracts.

The firm, which is owned by private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, signed a 1.8 million deal with NHS Scotland, in partnership with Imprivata and Trustmarque Solutions.

Northgate, which is based in Belfast with offices in Glasgow and Linlithgow, also won a "multi-million-pound", five-year contract with property group Strutt & Parker.

It has renewed its sponsorship of Glasgow City Ladies for a further season. The team won last year's Scottish league title and will play in Europe this season.

James Turnbull, Glasgow-based managing director of Northgate, said: "We wish everyone at Glasgow City LFC all the very best for their European matches and are sure they will do Scotland proud."
