Bury Football Club is delighted to announce a landmark new commercial partnership with Salford Van & Car Hire, who become the Club’s Official Stadium Naming Rights Principal Partner ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The agreement represents one of the most significant commercial partnerships in the Club’s recent history and marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for both organisations as Bury FC continues its progression on and off the pitch.
Founded with strong roots in Greater Manchester, Salford Van & Car Hire has grown into one of the region’s most trusted vehicle rental providers, serving businesses and individuals across the North West and beyond. Despite the company’s continued growth and success, the Bacci family has never forgotten its connection to Bury. Several members of the family grew up in the town, attended local schools and have maintained a strong affinity with the local community, making this partnership a natural fit.
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to community, ambition and long-term growth, with both organisations looking forward to creating new opportunities for supporters, local businesses and the wider Bury community.
Bury FC Head of Commercial & Media, Chris Watts, said:
“We are absolutely delighted to welcome Salford Van & Car Hire as our Official Stadium Naming Rights Partner and Principal Partner ahead of what promises to be another exciting season for Bury Football Club”.
“From our very first conversations, it was clear that there was a genuine alignment between our ambitions and values. This is a company with a fantastic reputation across both the North West and Nationally, but equally important is their personal connection to Bury and the affection the family has for the town and its people. Speaking to Graziella, Gianluca, and Nic, it was evident how fondly they remember their time at Gigg Lane in the past, and I could see the excitement they have for returning, that connection made this the perfect fit”.“This partnership represents a significant investment in the future of the football club and demonstrates the confidence that Salford Van & Car Hire have in the direction we are heading. We look forward to building a successful relationship together and creating something special for our supporters and the wider community”.
Gianluca Bacci-Evers of Salford Van & Car Hire added:
“Salford Van Hire is proud to announce its official new partnership with Bury F.C. for the upcoming 2026-27 season. As a business rooted in the North West, we are thrilled to support a club with such a rich heritage and passionate fanbase. We wish the players, management, and supporters the absolute best of luck for the campaign ahead. We look forward to standing alongside the Shakers as they go from strength to strength, both on and off the pitch.”
Everyone at Bury Football Club would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Graziella Bacci, Gianluca Bacci-Evers, Alessandro Bacci, and everyone at Salford Van & Car Hire for their support and commitment.
We look forward to welcoming them to the Bury FC family and embarking on an exciting new journey together as we prepare for the 2026/27 season.
