With a new owner in place, there’s an exciting summer ahead for Kettering Town FC, and the build-up to the 2024-25 season is likely to be a special one – with local businesses invited to get on board and be a part of a new era.
Nadim (George) Akhtar bought 100% of Richie Jeune’s share-holding of the club in May and is looking forward to moving the club forward, quoting the passion of fans when he’s visited the club as one of the driving factors in his bid to become the next owner.
Founded in the community and still building ever-stronger links with that community over 150 years later, Kettering Town FC offers a host of commercial and promotional opportunities for businesses looking to reach a different and wider audience.
As one of the biggest names in non-League football, the club attracts a solid and loyal fan following and its base, at Latimer Park in Burton Latimer, is not only the first team home ground but boasts social, community and hospitality facilities, in particular through its social club and club1872, that rival many local venues.
All that combines to make Kettering Town and Latimer Park the perfect platform to grow and promote a business, and there are a number of options for firms keen to get more involved.
Leading the way in sponsorship opportunities are those linked to the stadium and its surroundings. Kettering Town settled at Latimer Park a decade or so ago after a challenging few years that saw the club leave its Rockingham Road stadium for Nene Park, then on to Steel Park in Corby, before finally finding a new permanent home.
The ground itself, its two stands, and its social club and club1872, are all available for sponsorship for companies who want to play a prominent role in every home fixture and event. There’s also the option of turnstile sponsorship and of the club shop, or to join the range of businesses advertising on pitchside boards.
Silvano Geranio from the commercial team at Kettering Town FC, said: “It’s exciting news for the club that we have a new owner and we’re all looking forward to what this new chapter in the club’s long history will bring.
“Latimer Park is a vibrant part of the community, not just for the football but for its links with the community, as a venue for events and parties, family days and social gatherings and businesses can get on board and support us through sponsorship as we build on that, and in turn take advantage of an ideal platform to promote themselves to a wide and varied audience.
“There are all kinds of opportunities, from renaming the ground to sponsoring a player’s shirt – there really is something for everyone and we’d love to discuss the options with anyone who wants to get involved.”
