Swindon Town FC partners with local housebuilder

Five star housebuilder David Wilson Homes has been announced as the new back of shirt sponsor for Swindon Town Football Club.

The developer has a long history of being involved in the Swindon community and currently has three developments in the area including Larks Rise and Park View at Tadpole Garden Village and at Canalside@Wichelstowe, south of Swindon.

Steve Anderson, CEO of Swindon Town FC said: “We are very proud to have David Wilson Homes on board as back of shirt sponsor for the 2019/20 season. This is just the start of what I’m sure will be a long and successful relationship and we would like to put on a record our thanks to all those at the David Wilson Homes for their support of the football club.

“It seems only natural that Swindon Town Football Club, the only professional football club in the Wiltshire area, should be in partnership with a company who are building new communities on our doorstep and are bringing more families to the Swindon area.”

Ian Menham, managing director of David Wilson Homes in the South West, said: “The Robins are at the heart of the community with a huge following locally, so we are delighted and really proud to be on board. We’re very much looking forward to building a great relationship with the club and sharing our sponsorship with our customers, employees and suppliers through a whole host of activities not least matchdays. It’s going to be a great adventure!”

Adam Wainwright, head of commercial at Swindon Town FC commented: “All of us here at the Football Club are very excited by this partnership with Barratt David Wilson Homes and the potential that this partnership could bring. With the new developments taking shape, David Wilson Homes is building the foundations for a future fanbase, and it is our hope that these new homeowners will be joining us at the County Ground in the coming years, helping us in our aim to swell the crowds. We hope that, like it is for many of our fans, the County Ground will be an extension on their new home and these individuals moving to the Swindon area will share our fans passion for Swindon Town Football Club.”
