Hill Biscuits to sponsor Curzon Ashton women

Women’s football is one of the fastest growing sports and has grown significantly in popularity year-on-year, from the Women’s Super League (WSL) turning fully professional in 2018, to the record-breaking viewing figures from the Women’s 2023 World Cup of which England’s Lionesses reached the final.

So much so, local company Hill Biscuits have agreed a deal to sponsor Curzon Ashton Women's training kits.

Cath Kay, from Hill Biscuts, commented:

“Hill Biscuits are proud to be sponsoring Curzon Ashton Women’s Football Team with training kits for the 2024/25 season. Sponsorships for women’s sports are on the rise, fuelled by a growing audience and more brands recognising the value of investing in women’s and girls’ sports. It’s a way for us to connect with our local community while promoting both our brand and equality in sports. Hill Biscuits aligns perfectly with Curzon Ashton, promoting both local pride and athletic development.” 

Curzon Ashton Women currently play in the North-West Women’s Premier League competing in the League, County and the Adobe Women’s FA Cup competitions. Completely self-funded, sponsorships are crucial, to help purchase kit, equipment and provide the team with training and matchday facilities. All income generated through sponsorship goes directly to funding the growth and sustainability of Curzon Ashton Women’s Teams.

“We can’t thank Hill Biscuits enough for their generous contribution. Sponsorship deals are a much-needed source of income to allow our teams to develop at all stages. We hope to welcome you to the Tameside Stadium in the future to showcase our talent and so that you can experience our ambition, our passion and our family-friendly environment.”
