#ONWARDTOGETHER This is an exciting new era for Fleetwood Town FC – with Joey Barton’s appointment as the club’s head coach we continue to move #onwardtogether for the 2018/19 campaign. Our commercial opportunities continue to develop as Fleetwood Town FC continue our journey. We are keen to hear from national, regional and local businesses who are keen to develop a partnership in every sense of the word. Commercial opportunities can be designed to suit your business needs. We can help deliver a creative package of rights that can deliver your business some great value, raise awareness of your brand and introduce your business to our growing list of commercial partners. We will be looking to encourage networking with a series of partner events designed to build a rapport between each other, club officials, players and staff. We all have a common goal – to grow and develop our respective businesses and brands, let’s do this together! If you wish to entertain clients as a thank you for their business, or reward your staff for a job well done then our corporate hospitality is a fantastic way to do this. Over 5,000 people enjoyed VIP treatment last season. Each season we strive to make the experience even better – and this season we are planning to introduce some new ideas and options that gives you an enhanced match day experience. Events at Highbury are equally as popular – delivering day’s out, night’s out and much more as the venue looks to offer you opportunities all year round! Finally away from Highbury, our £8m training complex at Poolfoot Farm, Thornton is a fantastic community sports venue bringing huge benefits to the club and the community. This really is one of the finest facilities of its kind in the country with state of the art elite grass pitches, 4G full size and 5-a-side pitches and a top quality Bar & Grill Restaurant. Come and join us as a club partner for an exciting 2018/19 season! #ONWARDTOGETHER

From a financial point of view this has been a fantastic opportunity that has been both beneficial to us and the club. The commercial team at Fleetwood really know how to look after their sponsors and throughout the season they have pushed our company name through press and social media.

We look forward to continuing this relationship next season.”

“Last season we were delighted to become one of the newest club partner’s after signing up as new back of shirt sponsor. We have enjoyed some fantastic VIP day’s out with our clients, friends and family at Highbury and we have thoroughly enjoyed the benefits that the exposure being a kit sponsor can bring. On the back of the sponsorship we have also managed win a contract to supply the club with new smart technology around the stadium and training ground and have built some new business contacts through introduction to other club partners. The club is really ambitious and as a business we are keen to associate with the club on their journey. We are excited about the season ahead under Joey Barton.”

“We love to delight our employees, customers, business partners and overseas contacts with hospitality tickets for the Fleetwood home games. It’s always seen as a treat by those granted tickets because of the excellent organisation in the Parkside Suite by the club’s commercial team, the modern and tasteful surroundings and excellent food from Twelve restaurant of Thornton – all of which is the best I’ve ever come across! Many of the AGC Chemical’s team were already Fleetwood fans but now there are additional new fans since they were lucky enough to enjoy the atmosphere of the game and the great corporate hospitality at Fleetwood Town thanks to the tie-up with AGC.”

“We have thoroughly enjoyed our experience so far working with Fleetwood Town’s commercial team. We are keen to get our sports nutrition brand in the public domain and the sponsorship is helping us promote our brand both locally and to the UK market. We have also enjoyed entertaining our customers and rewarding our staff on a match day at Highbury – the hospitality is first class!”
