Ebac to continue support for Darlington FC

20/07/2023

Newton Aycliffe-based manufacturer Ebac is delighted to announce its sponsorship of Darlington FC.

As part of the partnership agreement, Ebac's name will proudly appear on the back of the men's team shirt and the front of the women's team shirt.

Supporting local sports and nurturing talent at the grassroots level is a core value for Ebac. By sponsoring Darlington FC, which plays in the Vanarama National League North, the company is demonstrating its commitment to contributing to the development of sporting opportunities within the community.

This partnership, which first began in 2018, will enable Ebac to forge a deeper connection with football fans and engage with a broader audience, reinforcing the brand's strong presence in the region.

The sponsorship will provide the club with additional resources to invest in player development, training facilities, and fan engagement initiatives. The financial support from Ebac will contribute to the continued growth and success of the team, both on and off the pitch.

John Elliott, chairman of Ebac said: “Darlington have a lot of potential and we sponsor the club to support them to fulfil this potential.

“It is important for us as a business to support local communities and sport is at the root of those communities. It’s good for people, it’s good for kids – it’s good for everybody. I think the club is very ambitious – Darlington should be a league team and I hope we can play a small part in getting them there.”

David Johnston, chairman and CEO of Darlington Football Club said: “Having commercial relationships is vital for a club like Darlington. Ebac has been a tremendous support through some difficult times and having John and the company alongside us is a tremendous coup for the football club.

“We’ve got a mid-table budget but I’d like to think we’ll be pushing for play-offs again after narrowly missing out last season and we appreciate the partnerships we have with sponsors like Ebac.”
