“We have really enjoyed supporting Storm and have loved the incredible match-night atmosphere and the fun that it brings to the Hemel Hempstead community. The game of basketball is a great fit with the McDonald’s brand and we are delighted to extend our contribution to help develop the team. I look forward to seeing even more Storm fans in all of our Hemel restaurants on match-nights as we celebrate the success of the team in the coming season”

“Our association with Alan and McDonald’s is of great importance to everything we are trying to do for our community. The support of McDonald’s played an enormous part in the team’s success last year and the team are very proud to be wearing the McDonald’s logo as we do battle on court next season. It’s a massive thank-you to Alan from the management team and the fans of Hemel Storm and the wider community too.”
