Backing Local Football with Pride
We’re incredibly proud to announce that Grenville Engineering is now a Gold Partner of Stoke City FC, one of our local clubs and a team close to many of our hearts here at Grenville.
For our Managing Director, Mark Barratt, this partnership is especially meaningful. Mark has been a devoted Stoke fan since 1968 when his father first took him to a match at the Victoria Ground. From the unforgettable 1972 League Cup win to ten seasons in the Premier League, his passion for the club has never wavered.
“We’re proud to be supporting Stoke City as an official partner. My father first took me to a game in 1968 when I was just nine years old, and I’ve supported the Club ever since. Having had an executive box since the new stadium opened in 1997, this partnership is a natural step and a proud moment both personally and professionally.”
– Mark Barratt, Managing Director, Grenville Engineering
This partnership is not only a nod to decades of loyal support but also a valuable opportunity for the business. It opens the door to exciting new networking opportunities and connections within the local business community. We’ve already enjoyed a behind-the-scenes stadium tour, and we were genuinely impressed by the facilities and the warm welcome from the Stoke City team.
We’re also looking forward to seeing the Grenville name proudly displayed on our advertising board on TV when players take a corner and our LED pitch-side advertising lighting up the stadium throughout matchdays.
At Grenville Engineering, we’ve always taken pride in supporting the community and celebrating our local roots. As a long-standing provider of fabrication in Stoke-on-Trent, this partnership is a brilliant way to showcase our continued commitment to local industry, sport, and talent.
We can’t wait to see where this journey takes us — and we’ll be cheering every step of the way.
Up the Mighty Potters!
