Silverstone Leasing is incredibly proud to announce that we are now a Principal Partner of Northampton Town Football Club — the biggest step yet in a partnership with the Cobblers that stretches back over five years.
As a family-run car leasing company based in Preston Deanery, Northampton, supporting our hometown club has always been about more than a logo. From sponsoring the warm-up kits and coaching staff wear, to the famous "Silverstone corner" boards at Sixfields, to supplying the club's own company cars, our relationship with Northampton Town has grown season after season. Becoming Principal Partner takes that relationship to a whole new level.
From Warm-Up Kits to Principal Partner: Our Journey with the Cobblers
Our story with Northampton Town began with a simple idea: a local business backing its local club.
Over the seasons, that support has grown into one of the club's longest-standing commercial relationships:
- Matchday warm-up kit sponsorship — the Silverstone Leasing name worn proudly across players' chests before every game, along with tops, bench jackets and coaching staff kit
- The Silverstone corner — our pitchside boards at Sixfields Stadium, seen by thousands of fans every home game
- Official Partner status — deepening our commercial and community ties with the club
- Trusted vehicle supplier — the Cobblers have leased their board and staff vehicles through Silverstone Leasing for more than five years
Now, as Principal Partner, Silverstone Leasing takes pride of place among the club's commercial family — a milestone moment for our business and a proud day for everyone in our team.
What Being a Principal Partner Means
Principal Partner status is the highest tier of commercial partnership at Northampton Town Football Club. For Silverstone Leasing, it means:
- Greater visibility at Sixfields Stadium on matchdays and throughout the season
- Exclusive fan offers on personal and business car leasing for Cobblers supporters
- Community initiatives delivered together with the club across Northamptonshire
- Matchday experiences that bring fans, local businesses and the club closer together
Scott Norville, Managing Director of Silverstone Leasing, said:
"Becoming a Principal Partner of Northampton Town Football Club is a huge moment for us. We started out sponsoring warm-up shirts because we love this club and this town — and every season since, the partnership has grown. As a family-run Northamptonshire business, this is about community, pride, and giving something back to the fans. We can't wait for the season ahead."
Why Local Sponsorship Matters to Us
Football clubs like Northampton Town sit at the heart of their communities. Sixfields isn't just a stadium — it's where families, friends and generations of supporters come together every other Saturday. When a local business puts its name behind the club, that investment flows back into the town: into the academy, into community programmes, and into the matchday experience itself.
That's why we've never treated our sponsorship as an advertising line on a budget sheet. We're fans first. There's a framed Cobblers shirt hanging in our reception at The Old Hay Barn, and plenty of our team are at Sixfields on matchdays — not because they have to be, but because they want to be.
We believe strong local businesses and strong local clubs go hand in hand. A thriving Northampton Town raises the profile of the whole county, and we're proud to play our part in that.
About Northampton Town Football Club
Founded in 1897, Northampton Town — known affectionately as the Cobblers, a nod to the town's famous shoemaking heritage — have played at Sixfields Stadium since 1994. The club is renowned for its deep community roots, with the Northampton Town Community Trust helping thousands of people across Northamptonshire every year through football, education, health and inclusion programmes.
It's that community-first ethos that makes the club such a natural fit for Silverstone Leasing. We share the same values: local pride, genuine service, and doing right by the people around us.
