Gateshead Football Club is delighted to welcome Utilita as an official club partner for the 2021\/22 season.<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Utilita, which has a large proportion of staff from North-East England and an office in Gateshead\u2019s Team Valley trading estate, has strengthened its links to the local area by backing the club to make a return to the fifth tier of English football.<\/p>\n

The partnership will see Utilita have a significant presence at renowned, multi-purpose Gateshead International Stadium at home fixtures.<\/p>\n

The energy supplier will also be involved with\u00a0Gateshead FC Foundation<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 a charity which uses the power of sport to provide meaningful education, employability, health, inclusion, environmental, and sport programmes \u2013 and support the\u00a0Junior Heed Club<\/a>\u00a0during the upcoming season.<\/p>\n

James Rushmore, Communications & Marketing Development Officer, said: \u201cThis is an incredibly exciting partnership that has been in the works for a few months.<\/p>\n

\u201cUtilita will have a significant presence across the club\u2019s social media channels and will also sponsor aspects of the Gateshead FC Foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can’t wait to watch the partnership flourish over the coming season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jem Maidment, Utilita\u2019s Chief Marketing Officer, comments on the ongoing partnership: \u201cWe\u2019re proud to become the \u2018official partner\u2019 of Gateshead FC \u2013 a club that many of our employees hailed from the North East support and follow, with a Utilita office just a stone\u2019s throw away from the Gateshead International Stadium.<\/p>\n

‘We\u2019re also very much looking forward to playing a bigger part in the community with the work with Gateshead FC Foundation and supporting the Junior Heed Club.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited for the future with Gateshead FC!\u201d<\/p>\n

The announcement follows Utilita\u2019s newly launched\u00a0Football Rebooted<\/a>\u00a0campaign with environmentalist and former goalkeeper, David James MBE, which encourages people to donate and claim pre-played football boots and Astro boots to save families a small fortune, as well as 136,000 tonnes of carbon \u2013 the same as taking 7,000 cars off the road for a year, or turning the energy off in one million medium-sized houses for a week.<\/p>\n

Football Rebooted is designed to put an aspirational spin on a mechanic that will get good boots through to families struggling to afford new ones, after Utilita\u2019s\u00a0State of Play<\/a>\u00a0report revealed that out of the 74 percent of families who had been impacted financially by the pandemic, 18 percent won\u2019t be able to send their kids back to grassroots football as they can\u2019t afford boots and other items such as goalie gloves and shin pads.<\/p>\n

Central to the partnership will be Utilita\u2019s industry award-winning Energy High 5 movement \u2013 helping households to avoid the five most common habits that waste energy, enabling households to save up to \u00a3163 per year, while helping the planet. Everyone can take part and start saving today, at\u00a0www.utilita.co.uk\/energyhigh5<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2003, Utilita is one of the nation\u2019s fastest-growing independent energy suppliers \u2013 currently powering more than 800,000 UK customers.<\/p>\n

It has established itself as a hugely recognisable brand within British football, having supplied power to a number of iconic stadiums while partnering with over 20 clubs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
