Enterprise Travel Become Official Travel Partner Sponsor

Shildon AFC are delighted to announce that Enterprise Travel will become the club’s Official Travel Partner Sponsor for the 2021-22 season.

Enterprise Travel will provide VIP transport to all the club’s away matches for the 2021-22 season, our first in the Northern Premier League East Division.

Started initially by Barbara and Brian Brown, the husband and wife duo worked with many local schools, colleges and UK based tour clients, as they continued to enjoy operating their fleet of five high quality vehicles. In 2015, they decided it was time to hang up their coach keys and agreed to sell their business to the European Travel Group.

Since that time, Enterprise Travel has continued to grow, from five to sixteen vehicles. It has continued to develop on an already well established reputation. Working closely with every school and college in Darlington, the company continues to go from strength to strength locally. Enterprise also continues to develop on the ever growing touring arm of the business, now with five touring vehicles that often find themselves in every corner of the UK and Europe.

Having a professional company to transport players and officials to away games is very important and means players arrive relaxed and ready for the game.

Shildon AFC & Local Community to benefit from Club Sponsorship

Shildon Association Football Club (AFC) has joined forces with Livin to secure a three year sponsorship partnership set to benefit the community by encouraging more local young people to get involved in sport.

As part of the sponsorship new kits will be purchased and funding will be provided to the club’s development team to enable more budding sports stars to take up football.

With long-standing roots in the community, Shildon AFC was established in 1890 and today competes in the Ebac Northern League first division after a number of successful years. The club has nine youth teams within its development centre, in addition to the first team.

David Dent, chairman of Shildon AFC said: “We are delighted to secure the sponsorship with Livin. The money will go a long way to help the club be the best it can be on and off the pitch. It will ensure that we can compete at the very top of the Northern League and support our growing development centre, attracting new players and supporters to Dean Street.”

Alan Boddy, director of operations, for Livin, said: “We have strong connections with the community in Shildon and we have worked closely with Sunderland AFC charity the Foundation of Light to establish the Foundations Community Hub in the town centre. Through this we work with local schools and community groups to help more people get into sport, education, training and employment. This partnership continues this work by helping Shildon AFC to grow its reputation as a community club by enhancing its offer to young people and the local community.”
