Bradford City Extends Partnership with Teaching Personnel

Bradford City has announced a two-year extension of its partnership with Leeds-based education recruitment agency, Teaching Personnel.

This renewed agreement will see the partnership continue until the summer of 2026, marking a four-year collaboration between the two organisations.

Teaching Personnel, which first became affiliated with Bradford City in 2022, will maintain its role as the sponsor of the club’s mascot, Billy Bantam, as well as the official sponsor of the club’s matchday mascots. The partnership has been recognised for its contribution to the local community, particularly through its support of school partnerships.

The extended agreement allows Teaching Personnel to continue offering guidance on healthy and active lifestyles to young people across the Bradford district. Additionally, the partnership will provide school pupils with opportunities to watch live football and engage with the club through tailored partnership agreements with local schools.

Preeti Hart, Managing Director of Teaching Personnel, expressed her enthusiasm for the extended partnership, stating:

“We are delighted to be taking our partnership with Bradford City AFC into a third and fourth year, and are looking forward to continuing our work within the community with our partner schools.”

“Seeing our branding on Billy Bantam’s shirt is always a huge honour and a really proud sight for us on each matchday, and we are pleased to also be sponsoring the matchday mascots from next season.”

“We cannot wait to see what the next two years of this partnership brings.”

Bradford City’s Chief Commercial Officer, Davide Longo, echoed this sentiment, adding:

“We are pleased to be extending our partnership with Teaching Personnel by a further two years, after an enjoyable and productive first two years of our affiliation.”

“To continue opening doors for young people across the district, providing them with the opportunity to watch live football while offering advice on a healthy lifestyle, will be very rewarding, and we are looking forward to seeing Teaching Personnel’s branding continue to be showcased on Billy Bantam and through our matchday mascots.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Preeti and her team for their continued support, and am excited to enter these next two years of our partnership with them.”
