Vertu Durham and Durham Women FC – Working In Partnership

Durham Women FC are delighted to be working with Vertu Durham BMW and Vertu Durham MINI in a ground-breaking partnership.

Based on Belmont Industrial Estate, Vertu are your local  authorised local BMW and MINI retailer, with exclusive offers on New and Approved Used vehicles and for all your servicing and parts requirements.

Very have now stepped-in to help FA Women’s Championship side Durham Women on the road – by providing two vehicles for the club to use.

The club have been handed the keys to a BMW XI and a MINI Countryman, which will assist staff throughout the ever busy season in The FA Women’s Championship and beyond.

Plus, the Vertu Durham logos will feature on our social media match graphics, while the club cars will be a visible presence at our home ground and training base at Durham University Sports & Wellbeing Park, and across the country when staff attend national meetings and events as well as games. 

Durham Women manager Lee Sanders added: “To have the association with two such global and iconic brands as MINI and BMW through this partnership with Vertu Durham is a huge step forward for the club.

“It also probably highlights the impact that other larger brands are having on the women’s game overall, if you look at the league and the investments now being made from Barclays and Boots, for example.

“Richard really took an interest and had a real knowledge of women’s football – he has a daughter who has a huge interest and involvement with sport and is also a keen cyclist himself.

“Part of the club’s commercial strategy is to partner with brands that really want to get involved with club through mutual marketing campaigns, benefits to players and staff and fan engagement, and if the business is local to the North East of England that’s even better. 

“This partnership with Vertu Durham will take away the necessity for key staff to use their own or unsuitable vehicles for travel to meetings, league events and for medical equipment transport, and they now have vehicles that are fit for purpose to make those journeys in comfort, style and with the size required for necessary equipment storage.

“We are really excited and looking forward to making the partnership a success and hopefully developing it together for the future.”
