FC United and Holts extend exclusive brewery deal

FC United is delighted to announce that after a very rigorous tendering exercise Joseph Holt Ltd have been chosen to continue to be the club’s exclusive brewery supplier for the next 3 years.

As one of the largest, independent family brewers and with deep Manchester roots, Holts are currently celebrating six generations and 170 years of brewing history, creating excellent beers since 1849; principles that speak directly to the heart of our supporters and fan base.

Having already supplied the club throughout our stay at Broadhurst Park, this new agreement will further develop the close relationship and product range on offer. Joseph Holt are also looking to continue to support the club and the fan base through innovative schemes which will look to reward the loyalty of FC United fans.

In addition, Joseph Holt are expanding their club sponsorship by continuing to support the club’s travel plan by providing a match day shuttle bus to the ground and promoting matches and club events through their extensive network of 125 North West pubs.

Richard Kershaw, Joseph Holt Chief Executive and Fifth Generation said “We are delighted to continue our relationship with Manchester’s FC United. To be part of their growth over the next three years is something we are very excited about and by working closely with the club and its faithful supporters, we can bring new initiatives, products and enthusiasm to engage with the current customer base but also a new generation of supporters.”

Adrian Seddon, FC United Chair said, “Our relationship with Joseph Holt Brewery has gone from strength to strength over the 4 years we have been at Broadhurst Park. They understand the needs of a non-league community football club like ours and have been happy to support initiatives such as the free shuttle bus from Manchester to the ground on a match day. On behalf of our supporters, I am delighted that we will continue to enjoy their range of beers for another 3 years and we can look forward to expanding our partnership even further."
