As previous primary sponsors of our home kit, Kal Group are no strangers to the football club and our Board. Based in Gainsborough for over a decade, they have now developed a football strategy in the region, including this fantastic commercial partnership with Gainsborough Trinity. Long term, as an element of this, Kal Group will be utilising professional acumen to assist the club in developing its commercial offerings to businesses in the community.

Speaking on confirmation of the partnership, Managing Director of Kal Group, Andrew Wood exclaimed: "Our company’s Head Office has been in Gainsborough for over a decade, and it’s a town which has been really good to us, providing easy access for our clients and great infrastructure for our staff. There are several football fans in our organisation, and we all recognise the importance of supporting all levels of the sport, including youth and grass roots right through to the professional game."

Interim co-chairman, Dave Horsley enthused: "Having Kal Group back on board is something that we have strived for, as a Board, for a long time. They were initially involved with the club back in the 2015/16 season as primary home shirt sponsors, famously beating Wrexham on the way to the first round of the FA cup."

"They were also previously involved in a fantastic community gesture of sponsoring the under sixteen season tickets, laying the foundations for youngsters to form lifelong alliances with the club. Now, more than five years on, we can resume and extend this partnership, for the good of the football club and the wider community."

We would like to thank Andrew and the team, and look forward to a long and prosperous partnership, both on and off the pitch. Signage will be erected on the Carlisle Street terrace (artist impression above) clearly visible from the iconic Ping stand. As a team, Board and volunteers, we are excited to welcome fans to The Kal Group Stadium soon.
