OKI has been a great sponsor for us and the new deal, which will run until June 2009, allows us to continue our positive working relationship and represents the largest commercial deal in the club’s history to date.”

Chris Gill, managing Director of OKI Printing Solutions (UK), said: “Portsmouth FC and OKI work extremely well together and we have an extremely positive relationship. There has been a substantial increase in our investment and this demonstrates the commitment that OKI has to the club and the attitude the corporation has to the sponsorship.”
