Driving Community Spirit: Westdrive and Braintree Town FC Unite for 2024/25 Season

In a thrilling development for local football fans and the Braintree community, Westdrive Group has been announced as the official shirt sponsor for Braintree Town FC for the 2024/25 season. This partnership marks a renewed collaboration between two local icons: Braintree Town Football Club, which proudly represents the town in the National League, and Westdrive, the trusted Kia and Mazda dealership serving the area for years.

A Partnership Built on Shared Values

The sponsorship reflects the shared commitment of both organizations to fostering community spirit and pursuing excellence. Braintree Town FC’s Chairman, Lee Harding, highlighted this synergy, saying, “We are thrilled to have Westdrive return as our shirt sponsor. Our relationship with Westdrive goes back several years, and we’re excited to welcome them back to The Rare Breed Meat Co. Stadium. Braintree Town FC has worked hard to rise through the ranks of the football pyramid to compete in the National League, and similarly, Westdrive has grown to become a key player in the local car industry.”

Both the football club and the dealership have been instrumental in promoting the Braintree name regionally and beyond. This partnership stands as a testament to how local businesses and organizations can work hand-in-hand to achieve shared success.
