Michael Matthews renew partnership with club

Michael Matthews Jewellery Ltd, which has a showroom in Westover Road, is continuing as a regional supporter of the Cherries.

The long-established company also sponsors AFC Bournemouth’s Player of the Month award.

So it was apt that flying winger Ryan Fraser, who claimed the award for both August and September, was on hand to present a commemorative shirt to the company’s Matt and Mike Corica before a recent match.

Matt Corica, director, said: “We have been supporters of AFC Bournemouth for many years and so we are very proud to continue our association, especially with the club enjoying its greatest period of success."

“Michael Matthews Jewellery has been a feature of the Bournemouth retail scene for more than 20 years and we hope to see the Cherries continuing to fly high and become an established fixture in the Premier League.

“It is an honour to be sponsoring the Player of the Month award as these star individuals really are the jewels in the club’s crown. We recognise that sport, as in business, it is very much a team effort. Congratulations to David Brooks for the October award."

AFC Bournemouth partnerships manager, Amy Brunton, said: “We are delighted Michael Matthews Jewellery has signed up with us again. The business has been with us a long time and we are so glad the partnership has been extended.”

Michael Matthews Jewellery, which also has a showroom in Fareham, is widely considered as one of the South Coast’s leading independent Jewellers. The company is known as being specialists in diamond engagement rings, bridal jewellery as well as branded fashion jewellery, whilst also holding a stock of more than 250 fine pre-owned watches such as Rolex, Breitling, Tag Heuer and Omega.

As part of the partnership, Michael Matthews will continue to have a presence at home games with match day hospitality and advertising around Vitality Stadium, as well as attending corporate events and golf days.
