Elite Precast are playing their part in supporting grassroots football after recently committing to sponsoring and becoming shirt sponsor for Telford Town Football Club.

The club relies on donations and sponsorship agreements in order to field its teams, with Elite Precast sponsoring the children’s teams from Under 7s up to and including the Under 15s team.

Support for grassroots football is a vital part of the ongoing development and success of the sport, giving young footballers the opportunity to home their skills and make long-lasting friendships.

Precast block, barrier, drainage, fencing and walling manufacturers Elite Precast Concrete employ around 100 people at their Telford works, so when the opportunity to support Telford Town Football Club arose, Commercial Director, Richard Doody was happy to oblige.

On seeing the team in their new kits, Richard said: “As a local manufacturer, we want to contribute to our local community and make a difference through new partnerships and initiatives, with this being a great way to make a positive impact on young people’s lives and an opportunity to play the sport they love”.

Richard continues: “We’re proud to be involved with the team and wish them the very best for the season ahead”

The Telford Town Football Club was previously known as Wellington Amateurs and Old Wellingtonians, having formed in 1950 and play their home games at The Key Worker Nation Stadium in Oakengates, Telford.
