Our South Midlands team has announced their sponsorship of a Studley-based football team, close to their head office in the Warwickshire village.

The team has supported Studley FC with a £7,500 shirt sponsorship – raising the developer’s profile in the area as it develops its’ communities in the region, which includes Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire.

Established in 1971, Studley FC has a range of teams. Since 2020, the team has been developing the site at Studley Sports Centre to support the club. In 2023, the team took the next step in this project by combining their youth teams and putting a program in place to develop a pathway for players. South Midlands will be the team’s official home shirt partner for the 2023 – 2024 season – with the sponsorship helping the club to further their goals for the season.

Richard Blackmore, Operations Director at Studley FC said: “It’s great to have the support of the Persimmon team and we’re so pleased to have them as a sponsor for the 2023 – 2024 season. The teams are going from strength to strength, so this is a really exciting time to be involved with the club - and to know we have the backing of local businesses located close to our club is a huge boost to us.”

Russell Griffin, Managing Director at Persimmon Homes South Midlands, said: “We’re proud to be sponsoring Studley FC as we expand our presence in the South Midlands region. What we do is about so much more than just building high quality homes, it’s also about supporting the communities in and around our developments in the ways that have the most impact.

“Sport is one of the key ways in which community spirit can be fostered, so it’s a delight to be able to show our support to Studley FC.”
