Leeds-based commercial interior design consultancy Design Tonic has been announced as the first official partner for Yorkshire County Cricket Club’s (YCCC) Women’s Team, Yorkshire Women.
The partnership announcement comes as Yorkshire Women head to Abu Dhabi ahead of its inaugural season in professional women’s cricket for a training tour and to participate in the Women’s T20 Counties Super Cup.
As official partner of the team, Design Tonic branding will feature on the back of all Yorkshire Women’s playing shirts for the 2025 season, cementing its support for the development of women’s cricket in Yorkshire.
Design Tonic director, Amanda Cook, said: “It is a privilege to support Yorkshire Women and be the first ever official kit sponsor for the team as they embark their very first season. As a business we are passionate about sport and our beloved home county of Yorkshire so it’s wonderful to be able to combine both of these loves and get behind Yorkshire Women at YCCC in this way.
“We are delighted to have been a Club Partner at YCCC for the last five years and we are looking forward to further building on that relationship and wish Yorkshire Women a fantastic season ahead.”
