Burnley Bounce Back At The First Attempt
After the disappointment of relegation from the Premier League, Burnley ensured an immediate return to the top flight of English football with a record-breaking season in the EFL Championship.
Proud to Partner with Burnley FC
Vertu is proud to partner with Burnley FC, a club with a rich history that dates back to the start of the English Football League. The Club has a vital role to play in the local community, and we look forward to continuing to work alongside them on a range of initiatives as the team chases success both on and off the pitch.
The Clarets
Founded in 1882, Burnley was one of the twelve founding members of the English Football League in 1888. Twice champions of England and winners of the FA Cup, the team held the record for the longest unbeaten record in the league for more than 80 years and is one of a handful of teams to have won all four professional divisions.
Burnley's Turf Moor stadium is one of the oldest in the professional game having been the team's home since 1883, with the modern day ground having a capacity of almost 22,000 and featuring a raft of impressive facilities.
Known as the Clarets in deference to its iconic shirt, Burnley can count on the support of a loyal army of fans who have supported the club through the highs and lows through the years.
Supporting Clarets in the community
With dealerships across the North West, partnership between Vertu and Burnley FC is an excellent opportunity to connect with local communities through the power of football.
We understand how much the football club means to the people of Burnley, so we are excited to work together to help inspire change and to show our support, such as with the annual collection each season to support the foodbank run by the Burnley FC Foundation.
Presence with purpose
The partnership allows us to connect with Burnley fans - and help them with their motoring needs too!
As well as being the club's Official Car Retailer, we are also involved in various initiatives throughout the season that includes activities in the Burnley FC FanZone, player appearances, and various hospitality opportunities.
A winning partnership
“As a supporter of Burnley Football Club myself, it is wonderful to be partnered with the Club once again this season, which will help to raise awareness of the Vertu brand alongside our dealerships and services in the surrounding area.
“As well as supporting the team on the pitch, our partnership with one of the oldest clubs in the professional game has enabled us to strengthen our ties with areas around Turf Moor, and we look forward to continuing to work with the Club and its community foundation to help local people in the future.”
Robert Forrester
Chief Executive, Vertu
"Since we first joined forces with Vertu, we've been impressed by their commitment to supporting the local community, particularly the foodbank and Whitehough Outdoor Centre initiatives - which made a real tangible difference to our charity Burnley FC in the Community.
"This is an important element of the partnership and I'm looking forward to enjoying further success together over the course of the season."

President of Business Operations, Burnley Football Club
