As part of an ongoing multi-year partnership between Haywards Heath Town Football Club (HHTFC) and Barratt Homes, the housebuilder has recently sponsored the club’s purpose-built 3G football pitch. The partnership follows a previous kit sponsorship by Barratt Southern Counties, who is building its Wychwood Park development on nearby Rocky Lane.
As well as being used by the football team, the pitch will be used by a number of other local sports teams, including Haywards Heath Youth FC, thanks to its IRB-approved shock pads underlay. The sponsorship will support the upkeep of the pitch for the next year as the club looks to host its training schemes at the site.
Kimberley Benson, Sales and Marketing Director for Barratt Southern Counties, comments: “Not only does the pitch provide a safer and better quality place for training, it also enables wider sporting networks in Haywards Heath to have access to state-of-the-art facilities. Working with the team at Haywards Heath Town Football Club is always a pleasure and we look forward to seeing the club enjoy many successes in the upcoming season.”
Paul Stone, Commercial Manager at Haywards Heath Town Football Club, adds: “Investing in the 3G pitch was a key priority for us to upgrade our facilities here at the club and support the budding talent in the team as we challenge for success in our upcoming season. 3G pitches are known to be hard-wearing, durable and resilient, meaning that our teams can train all-year round with a pitch able to endure consistent footfall, whilst retaining its appearance and ultimately being a safe area to play on.”
Barratt Southern Counties is currently building new homes at its Wychwood Park development in Haywards Heath, with its latest phase sold out. The next phase of homes is expected to launch soon.
