FIX AUTO STEVENAGE SCORES A NATIONAL WINNER IN BID TO RAISE ITS LOCAL PRESENCE

Fix Auto Stevenage has scored a winning goal in its bid to further enhance its reputation for providing a first-class service to its local community by sponsoring its local football team Stevenage FC.

And the move could prove to be a winner, not just for the Hertfordshire business, but for fellow Franchise Partners throughout the Fix Auto UK network – and thanks to a little bit of Hollywood glamour!

At the beginning of the 2024/25 season, Stevenage FC directors were informed by Sky TV that it was increasing its coverage for the League One season with a guaranteed promise that 20 games would either be screened live on Sky’s main football channel or streamed via its online platforms.  

Upon learning that Fix Auto Stevenage’s prominent pitch-side boards would be seen by more than 5,000 fans during home games and millions of football fans across the country via Sky TV, Fix Auto Stevenage’s Managing Director Hannah Crick seized the opportunity to jump on the sporting bandwagon and support the local team.

This move is perfectly timed to coincide with the hugely popular emergence of Wrexham FC and its famed owners, the actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, and the more recent arrival on the scene of American football hero Tom Brady who bought Birmingham City FC who compete in the same league.

“We have an unrivalled reputation for repairing high-end vehicles thanks to our official approval status for Aston Martin, Jaguar Land Rover and McLaren cars,” said Hannah, “but, like so many repairers, we are much much more. We believe we provide a community service for all motorists and what better way to get this message across than to sponsor Stevenage FC who have an ever-growing following throughout the community.”

Hannah added: “I’m no football fan but even I’ve have heard of the impact and publicity surrounding the division because of the Hollywood effect.”

David Hoskins, Head of Commercial for Stevenage FC, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have Fix Auto Stevenage on our team sheet. Stevenage FC is a truly traditional football club for the community and Hannah and her team provide a truly community service. As sponsors go, it’s a perfect match. As a club, we couldn’t be in a better place because of the level of coverage Sky is promising to provide us, and this is being reflected in the ever-increasing gate numbers.”
