Two businesses have the chance to see their name up in lights at Wembley on Sunday 2nd April – thanks to Checkatrade , title sponsors of the Checkatrade Trophy .
Checkatrade supports and raises the profile of over 23,000 professional trades across the country every day . From pitch-side perimeter boards , to Wembley ’ s big screen , Checkatrade ’ s competition is set to give an incredible level of exposure for two lucky businesses .
All trades that registered and joined via http :// www . checkatrade . com / wembleycompetition before 14th March were in with a chance to take a share of Checkatrade ’ s branding at one of the showpiece occasions in the EFL football calendar . The two lucky winners will also be in attendance on the day , enjoying the action from Wembley ’ s hospitality . Live on Sky Sports , the Checkatrade Trophy Final will offer a platform for the two lucky winners to have their business advertised live on Sky Sports during a match that was played in front of 59,000 supporters last year .
Kevin Byrne , founder and CEO of Checkatrade , said : “ Here at Checkatrade , our job is to promote the hard-working Trades of Britain , and that is why we ’ re taking this opportunity to reward new members with the chance to see their business up in lights under the famous Wembley arch .
“ The two lucky winners will see their business name plastered across the perimeter advertising , big screens , match day programme and Wembley signage on 2nd April at the Checkatrade Trophy Final - not a bad place to advertise your trade .
“ It will be a proud day for me because Checkatrade will be realising its dream of supporting EFL teams and their fans , as they fight it out for a trophy and a record prize pot at Wembley .”
