Back in the 1980's and early 90's the companies that sponsored Trials teams were far different from those today
Sponsor companies start , go bust , change name , get amalgamated , rebrand.
Here is a selection of the main sponsors at the time. If you can think of any more then please let me know.
They are in no particular order ,other than thier status in my own mind.
