The English Football League (EFL) Championship team, Watford FC have announced a partnership renewal with the financial trading and sports betting firm, Spreadex.
Before the 2018–19 season began, Spreadex officially became a club partner of the Hornets. Since then, the two sides have collaborated closely to offer Watford supporters a number of advantages.
Spreadex is a well-known sports fixed odds and financial spread betting company that was founded in 1999. The company is situated in St. Albans, which makes it local to Hertfordshire.
Andy MacKenzie, the Head of Marketing at Spreadex, said, “We’re overjoyed to be able to continue our partnership with Watford for another year after a hugely positive collaboration last season. With both Spreadex and the club being based in Hertfordshire, we were able to work on a number of initiatives such as ticket competitions and merchandise giveaways for both Hornets fans and Spreadex staff. We also supported local charities, such as by gifting some of our branding space to local organisations to promote some really valuable community causes.
“We plan to do more of the same this coming season, starting with a competition to win two season tickets at Vicarage Road for what is sure to be an exciting season ahead. Keep an eye on the Spreadex Sports social platforms for how to enter via X, Instagram or Facebook.”
Spreadex is overseen by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Gambling Commission, and it is known for its innovative products and exceptional customer service.
Last season, the company was featured on LED perimeter board advertising and interview backdrops along Vicarage Road.
Watford FC’s Commercial Director Paul O’Brien, said, “We are pleased to extend our agreement with Spreadex for the 2024/25 season. Spreadex have established a significant presence in the football sector and they also have a commitment to the local community; being based very close to the club, we see this as a key benefit of the partnership. As per last season there will be a number of key benefits to our supporters, through Spreadex’s prize giveaways of hospitality, signed shirts and much more.
“Furthermore, the club recognises the importance of promoting responsible gambling and a big part of the decision to renew with Spreadex is their commitment in this area.”
Recently, the brand also partnered with another EFL Championship club, Norwich City.
