Cansco are proud to be the shirt sponsors of Aberdeen Football Club's Elite Youth Development Programme.
The programme runs centres of excellence, staffed by fully qualified and licensed coaches, at Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Hamilton, Kilwinning, Elgin and Banff. The purpose of the programme is to eventually provide 50% of the first team playing squad of Aberdeen Football Club in line with current thinking in the game.
The programme's objectives are to attract young football players of quality, build an affiliation with the youngsters and their parents, provide them with properly structured coaching on a regular basis, and encourage their development in a non-competitive environment.
Cansco recently further underlined our commitment to supporting AFC’s work in this domain by donating at a 16 seat mini-bus for the club’s exclusive use.

Cansco are the main sponsor of Scottish Rally Championship contender Fraser Louden. Cansco supported Fraser and his crew for the 2006 season in which they battled for the class 3 (1401cc-1600cc 16v) title. The championship is decided as the best six results from eight rallies which are hosted, throughout the year, from as far North as Inverness and as far south as Newton Stewart. Seven of the eight rallies take part on forest gravel roads “special stages” where the cars are timed against the clock, departing the stage start at one minute intervals. One round of the championship (The Jim Clark Memorial Rally) is held on closed public roads (tarmac stages).
            The car chosen to compete in the championship is a wide bodied Ford Puma group A front wheel drive car. The car is based upon the very successful Ford Junior World Rally Championship Puma kit car, but this particular car was home built by Fraser and his friends. The car is powered by a 1600cc Ford Zetec-se engine which delivers 170hp. The gearbox is a 5 speed Quaife straight cut synchromesh box and employs a Quaife ATB differential.
            The 2006 season started very badly for the Cansco team, with the car breaking a drive shaft only 70 yards into the first stage of the first rally of the season, the Snowman Rally. So zero points on that event, but that was soon compensated by a class win and 26th overall on the following Borders Counties rally. The season continued with a class third on the Granite City rally. The fourth rally was the Scottish Rally in Dumfries and this was a day to forget with 4 punctures, a bent rear axle, a damaged gear linkage, a broken flywheel and associated clutch and engine damage. Not to mention a very fast excursion into the trees from which we were extremely lucky to find ourselves somehow bounced back onto the road (hence the bent axle!!). The fifth event was an horrible day on Speyside with torrential rain and thick fog to deal with. This ended happily with a 2nd in class 3 and with no damage. A class win and 22nd overall on the following Park Systems stages at Newton Stewart left the team only needing to finish on the final rally of the season to secure the championship. This would seem a simple task but following a major accident in the Puma on this event the year before, there were some major nerves around for the McRae stages rally in Perth for 2006. Happily this year was accident free and despite only managing 4th in class 3 and 54th overall on the day due to some electrical problems, the team had done enough to secure the Scottish Rally Championship Class 3 trophy for 2006.
