Shropshire Homes have recently celebrated 40 years since they first sponsored Shrewsbury Town FC.
The partnership began in 1986, sparked by the vision of Shropshire Homes’ Chairman Howard Thorne and cofounder Phil Northwood, both lifelong Shrewsbury Town supporters.
Wanting to give something back to the club they love, the pair saw sponsorship as the perfect way to show their support and raise awareness of their growing business.
The first game Shropshire Homes sponsored was against Chelsea in the FA Cup on Saturday 4th January 1986. Unfortunately the Town lost that game 1 - 0.
Since then the Company has progressed from supporting the Youth Team and Academy to sponsoring the first team away shirts for many years.
This season Shropshire Homes' commitment has extended to a full-kit sponsorship.
Shrewsbury Town’s CEO, Liam Dooley, says “I joined STFC in October 2023 and one of the first things you look at is who the front of shirt partner is. Doing my research, I looked back and saw just how many shirts actually feature the Shropshire Homes logo and was astonished at the longevity and level of your support. It is a massive thank you to all of the team at Shropshire Homes and we look forward to continuing this relationship for many years to come."
Shropshire Homes have always cherished their strong ties with the local community, and the partnership with Shrewsbury Town FC only reinforces their commitment to the people of Shropshire. 
As well as sponsoring the team Shropshire Homes are also proud to support the Shrewsbury Town FC Foundation, who aim to utilise the power of sport to engage, inspire and strengthen our local community.
We’re looking forward to continuing our partnership with Shrewsbury Town FC, and our support of the local community!
