DoorCo has signed a sponsorship deal with Macclesfield FC, the Northern Premier League team that was reborn in 2020 under the leadership of local businessman Robert Smethurst and former Premier League and Welsh international footballer Robbie Savage and have now been crowned league champions.
Marketing Manager Ellie Pool said: “This sponsorship is a really natural fit for us as a business. We’re big football fans and really proud of the growth of our local team, so sponsoring the club for the 2023/24 season was a really easy choice for us to make.
“Our advertising message is focused around recruitment and using our place within the ground as a space to share our brand with local people who may be interested in starting a career with us. However, this is more than a sponsorship deal and our partnership with the club has allowed us to offer some fantastic opportunities to our existing employees too.”
Head of HR Dek Wright added: “The benefits of the sponsorship that we’ve been able to pass on to our employees are as important to us as the advertising opportunity itself. Partnering with a local sports organisation has allowed us to focus on health and wellbeing opportunities for our staff.
“We recently took part in the sponsors football match and were thrilled to see the enthusiasm of our employees to join our newly formed DoorCo FC team and continue their training together beyond this one-time match.
“We’ve also recently used the fantastic newly-refurbished bar facilities to host our summer party which was a brilliant occasion for all staff to get together and get to know each other better. Lastly, we now offer a subsidised gym membership for all DoorCo employees at the club’s gym, Rise Fitness”.
