Derby County Football Club is pleased to have the support of local manufacturing firm Futaba, following the agreement of a new partnership.
The producer of automotive parts, which has a site in Derby, is a supplier to some of the world’s biggest brands and joins the club’s growing family of local partners, further highlighting Derby County’s commitment to work with local businesses to establish itself at the heart of the community.
Through advertising on the exterior of Pride Park Stadium, Futaba hope to recruit those from the tens of thousands that visit on matchday or pass by during the working week that are looking to join the family atmosphere at the company.
The firm also intend to work alongside Derby County Community Trust to get involved with their projects, with particular focus on employee welfare.
