Leading parcel delivery company DPD has signed a two-year partnership deal with football club Forest Green Rovers.
The deal brings together two of the most sustainable brands in their respective fields. DPD’s stated aim is to be the most sustainable delivery company in the UK, while Forest Green Rovers have been recognised by global footballing body FIFA as the greenest football club in the world.
DPD, which has over 3,000 electric vehicles on the road in the UK, has been the club’s parcel delivery partner for the past two seasons, delivering replica kit and merchandise for fans. Today’s announcement will see that partnership extended with a new two-year deal through to the end of the 2024/25 season.
The deal means that DPD’s logo and branding will appear on the back of player’s shirts for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons. Perimeter advertising and hospitality packages are also included.
