Stoke City Renames Stand With New Deal

Stoke City FC has extended and expanded its partnership with parcel delivery firm DPD, who becomes the official logistics partner and a platinum sponsor of the Potters.

The new two-year deal sees DPD double its investment in the club in order to add sponsorship of a stand, renamed The DPD Stand, at the Britannia Stadium.

Stoke and DPD have worked together for a number of years, and the new deal follows the opening of a new DPD distribution centre in the city, which was officially opened earlier this year by Stoke striker Peter Odemwingie.

City chief executive Tony Scholes, said: “We’re delighted that DPD have chosen to extend and significantly develop their association with the club.

“We have worked closely with them over the last couple of years and I know from talking to Dwain he feels that our partnership and the exposure this gives them has enabled DPD to deliver their aims and objectives.”

DPD chief executive Dwain McDonald added: “Stoke is an increasingly important location for DPD with the head office of our new parcel shop network, DPD Pickup, based there, and the new ‘Super Depot’ being built at Etruria, which will be one of the largest in our network.

“This new sponsorship deal symbolises our wider commitment to the city, and we’re very much looking forward to the new season together and supporting Stoke City in the Premier League.”
