Hodgson Sealants are proud to announce a partnership with Beverley Town Football Club for the forthcoming season. As well as being an official partner of the Club, our company logo will be emblazoned on the First Team kit for the 2024-25 campaign.
This is the beginning of a new sponsorship agreement, and we are delighted to be able to help a team so embedded in the local community.
The Club are entering an historic first season in the Northern Counties East League Premier Division, the highest level the club have played in their 122-year history. Their home ground is just over a mile away from Hodgson Sealants’ manufacturing facility on Belprin Road, and the Club have plans in place to improve their own facilities, with a new stand needed to meet the requirements of the league they now find themselves in.
The Beavers, as they are known, are an ambitious side, with lofty aspirations of climbing the football pyramid. They won promotion in an enthralling Play-Off Final played in front of over 1,500 people, with a penalty shoot-out deciding the tie. They are now in tier nine of the English football pyramid.
With youth teams from ages 7-18, a women’s side, 4 adult sides, including the first team, Beverley Town Football Club are wanting to promote the area and strengthen the local community. Their home games regularly attract over 300 people, making them one of the best-supported clubs in the league.
Gary Thomas, Joint Managing Director at Hodgson Sealants, said: “This partnership aligns with our values at Hodgson Sealants. Since our business was established over 50 years ago, we have grown to become the largest independent sealant manufacturer in the UK – but have always remained in Beverley, where it all began. We are proud of our roots and want to support the town’s grassroots sports clubs to succeed and put Beverley on the map.
With local non-league clubs, sponsorship is essential. While grants are available to aid with improvements, teams in the lower echelons of football thrive on both sponsorship and matchday income. We recognise the importance of giving back to the local community and Beverley Town FC is a worthy cause right on our doorstep. We hope the club can replicate their successes of last season.”
Richard Jagger, Beverley Town FC Club Development Officer, said: “Beverley Town FC are delighted to welcome Hodgson Sealants as an official sponsorship partner at the Club. This reaffirms our commitment to working with local businesses at the heart of our community.
Hodgson Sealants have strong connections with the town, and the Hodgson family are fantastic supporters of the community in Beverley. This partnership will ensure that Beverley Town FC continue to develop its facilities at Norwood, contributing towards ground improvements and providing first class facilities for players and supporters.
With over 35 junior teams, four men’s teams, three girls’ teams and a ladies' team, the Club provides an outlet and opportunity to be involved in sport for so many in our community. We are delighted that Hodgson Sealants are supporting the club and share our community ethos.”
We’re delighted to be supporting The Beavers this season, and we wish them the very best of luck for the 2024-25 campaign!
