Main shirt sponsor announced

As thoughts already start to turn to next season Workington AFC are delighted to announce our new main shirt sponsor for 26/27.

MPL Motor Factors of Whitehaven will partner with the club for the forthcoming season and their logo will take pride of place on our brand new HOPE+GLORY supplied playing kits.

Mark Farragher, director of MPL Motor Factors said:

It’s a real pleasure to be announced as the Main Sponsor of my local club, Workington AFC (The Reds).

As a long-time supporter, this is something that means a lot to me personally. When Paul and I spoke about supporting the club through MPL, it felt like a natural fit. Football here isn’t just a game — it’s a huge part of the West Cumbrian community, bringing people together and creating a real sense of pride.

This sponsorship isn’t just about kits and equipment. It’s about backing the club, the fans, and the wider community around it. As a business, we’re proud to support local sport at all levels, and to play a small part in something that brings so many people together.

With MPL continuing to grow across the area, it made sense for us to get behind a club that represents the community so strongly. Seeing families, supporters and local people turn out week in, week out is exactly what makes this club special.

We’re proud to be part of it, and we’re looking forward to what’s ahead — both for the club and as a partnership.

Thank you for welcoming us into the Workington AFC family.

Reds Vice Chairman Richard Lewthwaite added:

We are absolutely delighted that Mark and Paul have agreed to strengthen their partnership with the club. They have supported us for several years now in hospitality and with pitch side advertising and this agreement shows both their ambition to grow their own brand but also to support the West Cumbrian community.
