SAQ® International has been shortlisted as a finalist for the Professional Services to Football Award at this year’s Northwest Football Awards.

The Northwest Football Awards celebrates the achievements of the region’s 23 professional clubs, including Manchester United and Manchester City, and this year takes place at Lancashire County Cricket Club on Monday 12th November. SAQ® has been nominated alongside international law firm, Pinsent Masons, and the Manchester-based George Davies Solicitors.

SAQ® has provided a range of professional services to football clubs in the North West for over 16 years, as many of the region’s teams, including Manchester United, Bolton Wanderers, Blackburn Rovers, Liverpool, Preston North End and Everton, have regularly sent their coaching staff to qualify as SAQ® Trainers.

During a recent meeting with Everton Football Club, the club’s sports science and medical staff commented to SAQ staff that SAQ® International had fundamentally changed the way footballers physically prepare for the modern game.

In the past 12 months SAQ® International has developed a new innovative, state of the art rehabilitation and training equipment called ‘Aerofloor’, which has been introduced at Manchester United, Manchester City and Everton to assist with their medical, rehabilitation, training and conditioning protocols. In fact, SAQ® International Managing Director, Alan Pearson, recently visited Manchester United’s Carrington training ground to install a second batch of Aerofloor®.
