Collett Sponsor Mark Hughes
Collett & Sons Ltd have increased their backing of the Bradford City AFC, and will become official sponsor of Mark Hughes ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.
Having first become affiliated with the club last September, we’re continuing our sponsorship for the 2022/23 season, becoming the official sponsor of Mark Hughes, the club’s new First Team Manager.
The former Manchester City, Southampton, Stoke City, Fulham, QPR, Blackburn Rovers and Wales boss arrives at the Utilita Energy Stadium on a deal until the summer of 2024, having taken charge of over 450 top-flight matches.
As a player, Hughes began his professional career with Manchester United in 1980, scoring 163 goals in 473 appearances across two spells and winning the Premier League (twice), FA Cup (three times), League Cup, European Cup Winners’ Cup and Super Cup. Having also served spells at Barcelona and Bayern Munich, the English Football Hall of Fame inductee and two-time PFA Players’ Player of the Year then spent three seasons with Chelsea, scoring 39 goals in 123 games and adding another FA Cup, League Cup and Cup Winners’ Cup trophy to his cabinet.
Mick Harland, Collett Sales Director, said: "We are really pleased to be extending our Partnership with Bradford City AFC for the up-coming season, and especially thrilled to be the Official Sponsor of Mark Hughes, the way he has come in to the Club and embraced its culture and the fans is a real credit to himself, and also sends out a statement of intent from the club, the CEO and the Owner.”
"Since partnering up with Bradford City they have treated us very well. The two corporate matchdays we put on last season left a really good impression on us, and more importantly our customers who attended as our guests. They all commented on how much they had enjoyed the day, the surroundings, and the organisation."
City’s chief commercial officer, Davide Longo, said: “We are delighted that Collett have chosen to extend their partnership by a further season, and increase their backing of Bradford City AFC.” “From the moment we first spoke just under a year ago, we have very much been on the same page. We have a great working relationship and long may that continue.” “I know Mick and his colleagues had a great time meeting Mark Hughes recently and, like all of us, are looking forward to the season ahead, being his official sponsor for 2022/23.” “I would like to thank them for their continued support and am looking forward to seeing this partnership hit further heights as the season progresses.”
