Slater Heelis Scores Business Club Sponsorship for FC United

FC United of Manchester are delighted to announce Slater Heelis Solicitors will be the club’s Business Club Sponsor for the 2025/26 season.

The sponsorship will see Slater Heelis host and support a series of four business networking events at the club, starting with the first event on Tuesday 16th September from 5pm to 7.45pm, at Broadhurst Park. After the event, guests will then have the opportunity to stay and watch FC United take on Morpeth Town as the new season continues.

At the inaugural event, Debbie Coyne, Partner and Head of the Employment Law team at Slater Heelis will deliver a thought-provoking talk under the theme: ‘From Flexibility to Fairness: Understanding the Future of Zero Hour Contracts’. Her session will explore the legal and ethical considerations surrounding these increasingly prevalent employment arrangements, ensuring delegates leave with the knowledge and understanding needed under changing legislation.

FC’s rapidly growing business club gives local professionals and businesses a unique opportunity to connect and network in a unique setting while supporting fan owned football.

Frances Fielding, incoming General Manager at FC United, said: "We’re delighted to welcome Slater Heelis as our Business Club Sponsor. Their commitment to both business and sport makes them the perfect partner to help us grow our network and enhance our impact across Greater Manchester. We’re looking forward to seeing this partnership grow over the coming season.”

Kristen Drummond, Head of Marketing at Slater Heelis, who led on the agreement added: "This partnership with FC United is a natural next step in our commitment to supporting sport at all levels. From advising individual athletes to working with clubs and sporting organisations, this is an area we’re passionate about and we want people to know that.

“FC United stands for integrity, ambition and community, which mirrors our own values as a firm. We’re excited to be part of something that brings people together and makes a real difference on and off the pitch.”
