Glasgow-based Resolution Asset Management has announced a three-year sponsorship deal with First Division Partick Thistle FC.

The "six-figure", three-year deal will initially run from June 2007 to June 2010 and see the RAM logo appear on Thistle's home and away strips and other merchandise.

RAM's superhero-based branding will also appear throughout the club's Firhill stadium.

Gavin Stewart, RAM's chief executive, said: "Resolution Asset Management is delighted to announce this sponsor- ship deal with Partick Thistle.

"As a Glasgow-based business with almost 400 staff, we feel it is important to be involved with the local community - the tie-up with Partick Thistle allows us to do that while giving us the opportunity to raise our profile more widely across the country."

Allan Cowan, chairman of Partick Thistle, said: "Sponsorship is a very important part of the club's commercial activities. Resolution Asset Management is a blue-chip sponsor and we are delighted that such a reputable company will be associated with us over the next three years."

The sponsorship package also includes programme advertising, branding on the club website and hospitality at all home games.

RAM's other community initiatives include its annual women's 10-kilometre run, which the company has sponsored for the last 11 years. The investment house also backs Project Ability, an initiative supporting disabled artists.
