Derby County is delighted to confirm its principal partner Host & Stay will proudly display their logo on the front of two more teams’ shirts for the 2023/24 season.


It was announced back in June that Host & Stay would prominently feature on the front of the Men’s First Team playing kit and replica shirts for the campaign, as well as having a significant branding and matchday presence at Pride Park Stadium.

Host & Stay have now increased their involvement with the club by adding their logo to both the Derby County Women’s First Team and Men’s Under-21 Team playing kit.

Derby County Women’s home shirts will feature the Host & Stay logo for their season opener in the FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday (3pm kick-off).

Derby County’s Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Pearce, said: “We’re delighted that Host & Stay have decided to become the front of shirt sponsor of both the Derby County Women’s First Team and our Men’s Under-21 side.

“It shows their commitment to support not just the Men’s programme but also the ever-evolving Women’s game, which follows on from their recently launched Host & Stay Hero initiative alongside Derby County Community Trust.

“Since we announced the partnership earlier this summer, we’ve quickly established a strong and positive working relationship with the Host & Stay team and we’re looking forward to seeing that grow further still over the course of this season.”

Dale Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Host & Stay, shares his enthusiasm: "After backing the Men's First Team, we're excited to extend our sponsorship to the Women's First Team and the Men's Under 21s team.

“These teams exemplify the same passion and determination as the Men's First Team and should be recognised the same. Our support aims to create an environment where all players have a chance to succeed, and each team contributes to the overall success of the club.”

Who Are Host & Stay?

Host & Stay are the UK’s largest independently owned holiday home and short let management business. Brought to life by the Smith family, Host & Stay was born from a love and passion for property, and a desire to lead the change in an age-old industry.

Their aim is to help more holiday home owners unlock the potential and earn more revenue from their homes but not at the expense of owners paying high management fees and seeing very little, if any return on their investments.

With only 10% commission, Host & Stay allows owners to reap the benefits of owning a holiday home without the limitations set by traditional management companies.

With new methods for new times. With better guest experiences through technology and lightning-fast response rates. All resulting in more revenue for their holiday homeowners, and with less hassle due to their completely hands-free service.

Host & Stay want to change the game. To reset the standard. And to help property owners maximise their income, maximise their returns, reduce their fees and their hassle. They are on a mission to make the United Kingdom one of the most popular, guest centric holiday destinations in the world.

Host & Stay are part of The SDDE Smith Group, a family business forming multiple brands that provide end-to-end services for the real estate sector, with outstanding dedication and best in class client care. They are pushing boundaries to create better places to live, work and stay.

Host & Stay are looking forward to working with many charitable organisations across the region as well as bringing their five-star property management solution to investors and holiday homeowners across the East Midlands and the Peak District.

This support follows the launch of the Host & Stay Hero programe with the Derby County Community Trust. Through Host & Stay Hero, each Rams fan will have the opportunity to nominate five families throughout the year to be gifted a holiday, in one of Host & Stay's luxury holiday homes across the UK. The key message of Host & Stay Hero is clear: giving back and supporting those who deserve it most. You can nominate a Hero here: hostandstay.co.uk/derby.
