Historic football sponsorship

Westfield Health is proud to be the official club sponsor of both League One clubs Sheffield United Football Club and Sheffield Wednesday Football Club for the 2011/2012 season.

This groundbreaking sponsorship deal – the first of its kind in the history of British football sees the Steel City rivals sponsored by Westfield Health and another of Sheffield’s most recognised business names, motoring dealership the Gilder Group.

The two sponsors have a ‘home team’ and ‘away team’, with Westfield Health appearing on the front of Sheffield United’s shirt when they wear their home strip and Sheffield Wednesday’s when the Owls wear their away strip.

Jill Davies, Chief Executive of Westfield Health, said: "Having worked with both clubs for almost 50 years, we are thrilled to be part of such a groundbreaking deal. This is an opportunity to support not just the football clubs, but the city and the people of Sheffield, too.

"From our Sheffield roots over 90 years ago, Westfield Health has grown to become one of the leading health insurers in the UK and is delighted to be supporting the clubs and community which helped Westfield become all that it is today. We look forward to sharing in both clubs’ success during the exciting season ahead."
