THE search is on to find Black Country companies to sponsor the borough’s Christmas trees and festive decorations.

Dudley Coucnil holds switch on events in all over the borough including Dudley, Stourbridge and Halesowen in the run up to the festive period.

Sponsors will be able to promote their business across the borough for a six week period and will receive recognition via an advertisement board beside the tree, online mentions and inclusions in all promotional literature.

Plus one lucky sponsor for each event will be invited to switch on the lights with Dudley Mayor Councillor Margaret Aston.

Councillor Stuart Turner, cabinet member for finance, said: “This is an excellent opportunity for local businesses to become involved in local community building events. Companies will be included in large campaigns in the run up as well as during and after the Christmas period, as part of the sponsorship package.
