The glazing industry is a huge supporter of local sport, so we are adding a shout out to the teams or individuals that the sector sponsors in our newsletter and on our socials.

Next up we have Gillingham, Kent-based hardware supplierr VBH.

The team at VBH loves football, and the company is proud to have supported a number of teams down the years at various levels.

VBH is currently involved with two clubs in England, and another in Scotland.

In the north, VBH has recently supplied shirts for Rossvale FC. Based in Bishopbriggs, near Glasgow, Rossvale is one of the largest football community clubs in Scotland, with around 800 men, women, boys, and girls registered to play.

The club was originally set up in 1976 and has been serving the community ever since. The Under 15s are sporting VBH/greenteQ shirt sponsorship this season.

Rossvale U15s have reportedly started the season well, with a long unbeaten run and have made it to the League Cup final.

Moving further south, VBH is the Match Ball sponsor of Sutton United FC, who are currently consolidating their position in the Midlands Football League Division 1 after consecutive promotions as champions of Divisions 3 and 2 in 2022 and 2023.

Based in Sutton Coldfield, Sutton United is another large organisation, with 45 teams for men, women, boys, and girls competing across the east and west midlands.

VBH is now in its second year as a Business Club Partner of EFL League 2 Gillingham FC, whose Priestfield Stadium ground is just a stone’s throw from VBH’s head office. The company is also a regular Match Day Sponsor of The Gills, with six matches booked already this season, including the new year ‘local’ derby against newly promoted Bromley.

Gary Gleeson, VBH Marketing Manager, said: “As part of our deal, our greenteQ logo is often seen travelling around the state-of-the-art LED perimeter advertising, so if you can tear your eyes away from the Brian Moore stand, Priestfield’s ‘iconic’ temporary away supporters scaffold, look out for greenteQ on the EFL shows this season. Come on you Gills!”

No two businesses operate in exactly the same way, and DIDAC believes apprenticeship programmes should reflect that. Whether an organisation works in furniture manufacturing, retail, warehousing or office-based operations, its working patterns, priorities and seasonal demands can vary considerably. For DIDAC, understanding those differences is an important part of delivering an apprenticeship programme that works… Continue reading DIDAC on supporting businesses with tailored training
