Snooker fans are hoping for some tasty action in Telford next month – with Pukka Pies signing on as the new title sponsors for the prestigious UK Championship.
The Leicester-based pie manufacturer has signed an initial one-year deal with World Snooker which will see their corporate brand tied to the second-biggest event on the snooker calendar.
The Pukka Pies UK Championship will be held at the Telford International Centre from December 5 to 13, with Shaun Murphy aiming to retain the title he won in a thrilling final against Marco Fu last year.
World Snooker chairman Sir Rodney Walker said: “We’re delighted to welcome Pukka Pies on board as title sponsor of the UK Championship.
“It’s a famous and successful British brand.
“Everyone at World Snooker and the players are looking forward to working closely with Pukka Pies to make this year’s tournament a great success.”
