Vale owner Carol Shanahan added: “I am just delighted that first sponsor I brought in was Ian and Autonet. One of the major reasons for us buying the Vale was for the good of Burslem and the north of Stoke-on-Trent, and he is such an important part of that as a major employer. He is also a friend and colleague.”
“I look forward to bringing more of the business community either back to Port Vale or to join us for the first time to be part of this new era at the club.”
