We’ve launched UmbroIndustries.com, geared towards giving Manchester-based innovators a financial helping hand. You know how it is: you've a great idea for an exhibition, a gig, a club night or project, you've got the contacts in your little black book, you just need a little cash injection to make it all happen.
That's where we come in.
Umbro has 85 years of heritage in Greater Manchester – no mean feat, we think you’ll agree – making and creating iconic football and sportswear apparel, footwear and equipment, and we want to be as much a part of Manchester's creative future as its past. We want to support creative energy in the Manchester area and give it the financial clout needed for it to bloom. We know there are those out there who could be blazing a trail if they had the backing. We want to make sure those potential pioneers aren't denied their chance to flourish and be given the chance to develop their ideas beyond the brainstorming stage. £10,000 given out every three months to the best ideas should just about do it.
