Ipswich Town FC, a club competing in the Premier League (PL), have announced a strengthened partnership with Birketts LLP, a leading Ipswich-based law firm.
This extended agreement has elevated solicitors to the status of “elite partner” for the next three seasons.
The collaboration is built on a foundation of mutual success. The law company has already been a valuable partner, sponsoring the Portman Road Boardroom and appearing on matchday team sheets. This renewed commitment sees Birketts’ brand prominently displayed throughout Portman Road, solidifying its dedication to the Club and the Ipswich community.
Town CEO, Mark Ashton, said, “We are delighted to be working closely with Birketts for the next three years.
“The Club and Birketts have a long history together and we’re excited to build further on what is already a strong relationship, with both sharing many of the same values and a commitment to championing both Ipswich and Suffolk.”
The Club’s Commercial Director, Andy Wooldridge, added, “Birketts is a prime example of how the Club’s new Partnership model can benefit businesses, with Partners able to connect and work with each other through events and opportunities at the Club. It’s been great hearing how they have seen positive results from meeting fellow partners at events, hosting clients in hospitality and raising brand awareness.
“We have thoroughly enjoyed working closely with Birketts throughout last season and look forward to strengthening our relationship.”
On the extended partnership, Jonathan Agar, Chief Executive of Birketts, said, “Birketts was an exceptionally proud partner of Ipswich Town last season, and we are delighted to renew our partnership with the Club.
“As an Elite Partner we will continue to stand alongside the Club as it takes up its hard fought place in the Premier League. One attribute that unites us, apart from our geographic location and our focus on excellence, is our desire to have a positive and sustainable impact on our local community. Together we look forward to playing a role in Ipswich’s commercial and sporting success for many years to come.”
