English League Two club Bradford City has agreed a deal for Stadium Support Services to become its official projects partner and support continued enhancements at its home stadium.

Stadium Support Services will work alongside Bradford to deliver projects that can elevate the club’s infrastructure. A focus will be placed on sustainability and fast-turnaround facilities management solutions.

The company has over 20 years of experience in facilities management across the sports, leisure and commercial property sectors. Stadium Support Services has agreed a four-year deal with the club.

Bradford’s Valley Parade home ground is officially known as the University of Bradford Stadium as part of a four-year deal that runs until the end of the 2025-26 season. The stadium was previously sponsored by Utilita Energy.

Scott Hudson, managing director at Stadium Support Services, said: “For me, we must align strategically with organisations that share our values and ambitions. We have been genuinely impressed with the vision and culture at Bradford City AFC. As the official projects partner, we eagerly anticipate the many opportunities to collaborate and continue to create a stadium environment that benefits players, fans and the community alike.”

Davide Longo, chief commercial officer at the club, added: “They are an impressive company who will be helping us in our continued efforts to make the University of Bradford Stadium a more pleasant, welcoming place for supporters.

“Having worked on some fantastic national stadia such as Wembley and Twickenham, they arrive with a wealth of experience and ability to do great things with us. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Scott and his team for their hard work and cooperation. I am looking forward to what will hopefully prove to be a long and successful relationship.”
