Bootle air conditioning and ventilation businesses Everkool is to sponsor an under-12s football team and an amateur boxing club

Bootle-based air-conditioning firm Everkool has agreed to sponsor amateur football and boxing clubs across the city.

Everkool, one of the North West’s biggest air conditioning and ventilation businesses, has announced plans to support young people in Merseyside by sponsoring Croxteth Tigers under-12s football team and Kirkdale amateur boxing club.

Since the company’s inception in 2008, Everkool has made a significant contribution to local youth organisations and last month announced its support for Trent Alexander-Arnold’s new Football for Change initiative.

Everkool founder Craig Greenwood, himself a former amateur boxer, said: “It’s a fantastic feeling to be in a position to give back to organisations which do tremendous work to support young people.

“Both Kirkdale and Croxteth are areas very close to my heart, it makes me very proud that we are able to support organisations in these areas. The coaches within these clubs work tirelessly to give young people opportunities to develop.

“I was a beneficiary of this support as a youngster so I want to do whatever I can to ensure that this great work continues.”
