Exeter City Football Club is delighted to announce a new partnership with progressive - the region's leading roofing and cladding contractor.
The Exeter-based organisation will be increasing their support for the Club through the sponsorship of the St James Road stand for the coming two seasons.
Founded in 1988, progressive works with main contractors, developers and property groups across the South of England and Wales. They have developed a reputation for quality, safety and design, and their impressive client list includes major names such as Nevada, Kier, Morgan Sindall, BAM and Willmott Dixon. The company's apprenticeship scheme further demonstrates their commitment to developing local talent and investing in the future of the region.
Andy Smith, Director, progressive, said: “Exeter City is part of the fabric of this city, and so are we. We've been based in Exeter since 1988, and over the years the team has worked on many of the buildings that shape the place, from Sandy Park and the GWR offices to Exeter College, the University, Amazon and DPD. Sponsoring the St James Road Stand feels like a natural extension of that.
“Sport teaches teamwork, discipline and leadership, and those are the same qualities we look for when we bring people into the business. Through our apprenticeships, T Levels and NVQs, we're investing in the next generation of site and office-based construction talent, and being visible at the Club is a real chance to reach the parents and young people we want to hear from.”
Andy added: “We are proud to back a Club that's owned by its supporters and does things the right way, and we are looking forward to the coming two seasons."
Through the agreement, progressive's branding will be prominently displayed above the St James Road stand, giving the company significant visibility to supporters and visitors throughout the season.
Tom Wenborn, Head of Commercial at Exeter City Football Club, said: “We're delighted to welcome progressive as St James Road stand sponsors. As long-standing City fans and previous Club sponsors, they understand what the Club means to the city. We're looking forward to building on this relationship over the coming two seasons and working together to raise the profile of a business that shares our values.”
