Macclesfield Football Club extends ‘record-breaking’ six-figure partnership deal

Leasing.com has announced the extension of its partnership with Macclesfield FC in a ‘record-breaking’ six-figure deal with the club.

The deal secures the continued naming rights to the stadium for a further three years, and the new extension means that Macclesfield FC’s home will continue to be named the Leasing.com Stadium until at least the end of the 2026/27 campaign.

Following back-to-back promotions, the club is now chasing promotion from the Northern Premier League, just three years on from being expelled from the National League and being bought by local businessman Robert Smethurst, now Director at Macclesfield FC.

Robert said of the extension: “Extending Leasing.com’s Stadium Sponsorship was incredibly important to me on a number of different levels. Not only is the record-breaking deal a forward-thinking one, it also respects the loyalty which Leasing.com have shown to us since day one.

“The fact that this has been agreed so early tells its own story and I would like to thank everyone at Leasing.com for their unwavering belief in all that we are trying to achieve here at Macclesfield FC.”

Bob Trafford, Head of Commercial and Sponsorships, Macclesfield Football club, concurred: “I am so pleased that Leasing.com will continue to be our Stadium Sponsor after we agreed a record-breaking three-year extension to their existing deal.

“There can be no doubt that Leasing.com have etched their name into the overall narrative of Macclesfield FC since they became our first-ever sponsor.

“From a commercial point of view, their commitment has been second to none, and I cannot tell you how pleased I am that we have managed to extend this highly cherished partnership for another three seasons.

“On a personal level, I would like to thank both Dave and Louise Timmis for their unwavering support and friendship since I embarked on my current role and I look forward to taking our partnership here at Macclesfield FC to the next level over the next three years.”

Dave Timmis, Founder and CEO, Leasing.com, added: “We recognise the fact that Macclesfield FC is a very special Football Club in the midst of telling a unique story. Ingrained within the local community, the progress that the Club have made since their inception is truly staggering.
