Milton Keynes Dons is delighted to announce its new partnership with reputable property developer McCann Homes.

McCann becomes one of our Club Partners, as part of a one year agreement, starting with the 2008/09 season.

In confirming the deal, Dons Chairman Pete Winkelman said: "It's fantastic to see yet another local company become a Club Partner with MK Dons.

"Much like ourselves, McCann Homes is a fast-growing, forward-thinking company with its roots in the Milton Keynes community and we look forward to working with them over the course of the next year."

Being experts in design, construction and communication, McCann's enviable strategic relationships across the country have seen them go from strength to strength over the last 30 years.

The company's increasing portfolio of developments is now managed from Milton Keynes, enabling them to give the Club great support as well as helping to evolve the housing industry in many areas.

Their partnership with the Club will see McCann benefit from high profile signage around the stadium and pitch. They will also be among the stadium's executive box holders as our premier venue introduces its exclusive matchday experience.

James McCann, Chief Executive of McCann Homes, said: "We are really pleased to be a big supporter of MK Dons.

"We had a season ticket the year they moved to Milton Keynes and began by taking up match sponsorship opportunities - we have followed them ever since.

"We have been encouraged by the Dons' recent success and we are proud to help them grow with our city. Together we'll be working towards making great improvements in Milton Keynes as a whole, especially at a time when everyone is feeling the pinch."

MK Dons Head of Partnerships James Parkinson said: "It is great to see another local company backing a local sports team.

"This partnership is ideal for McCann Homes, given that our supporter base is built around the community, with lots of families coming to the ground and seeing a local property developer supporting the club."
