Testimonial

In a statement on the Phantom’s website Weldon says: “I am proud to have been a Phantom since 2011 and look forward to continue being a Phantom in the future.

“If anybody had told me when I joined the Phantoms, as a fresh-faced teenager all those years ago, that I would still be here today celebrating such a milestone, I would not have believed them.”

Weldon personally thanks the firm saying: “I would also like to thank Nik Day at Front Foot Creative Ltd for agreeing to be the official testimonial sponsor, as without such generosity I would not be able to organise such an occasion”
