Bishop Auckland Football Club are delighted to announce a new partnership/sponsorship agreement with the very successful local company ‘AKV Group’ from Shildon. 

Chairman, Kevin Everitt, has very kindly agreed to sponsor our main seated stand at Bishop Auckland Football Club. 

After receiving the fantastic news, Club Chairman, Steve Coulthard, said, 

“I am delighted that Kevin has agreed to come on board as a main sponsor/partner of Bishop Auckland Football Club, Kevin is someone I played football with 40 years ago. Kevin, along with his son Karl, ex BAFC player, are pivotal in building the AKV Group of Companies to the prosperous business it is today. AKV employs over 70 staff and supplies all aspects of roofing products to companies all over the UK. Kevin and Karl will be a massive attribute to Bishop Auckland Football Club, supporting our ambitions and helping us achieve these along with all our other main club sponsors. I have also asked Kevin to help the club by joining the Board of Directors, which we will be voting for at an EGM.”

Quote from Kevin:

“As a local business we are delighted to have the opportunity to come on board with Bishop Auckland FC and work alongside Steve and his fellow directors. Bishop as a club have a tremendous amount of history and we were very much encouraged and excited to hear the plans which they have for the future. We are really looking forward to the upcoming season and the start of what I am sure will be a long and successful relationship with one another.”
