Worcester-based, full-service accountancy and advisory firm Hayward Wright has announced a partnership with Worcester City Football Club.
The firm has entered a 12-month partnership and sponsorship programme with the football club as a commercial partner and will be taking a key branding position as sponsors of the club’s shorts on their home, away, and third kits.
The partnership will also see Hayward Wright support the club’s business networking groups, providing accountancy and advisory services to local businesses and support to charities and community groups that the club works with.
Alistair Hayward-Wright, managing director at Hayward Wright, commented: “Supporting our local community isn’t just good business, it’s who we are. For more than 18 years, we’ve been working alongside Worcester’s businesses and the local community, helping them grow and thrive, and we strongly believe in giving back to the city. That’s why we’ve decided to sponsor Worcester City Football Club, a partnership that perfectly reflects that commitment to Worcester. The club is at the heart of our community, bringing people and businesses together, and we are excited to be part of their programme and to support the team and club’s success on and off the pitch.”
Simon Lancaster, majority shareholder and owner of Worcester City FC, added: “A vital part of our plans to progress the club and move towards sustainability is our work off the pitch to grow a trusted network of local companies that support WCFC, and can build mutually beneficial relationships with the club, our sponsors and supporters. We are delighted to welcome Alistair and his team at Hayward Wright as the club’s new accounting partner, and I thank them for their support and look forward to collaborating with them.”
