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:
Gianluca Bacci-Evers of Salford Van & Car Hire added:
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.

The move comes following Leo’s hugely successful loan spell during the 2025-26 season.
After winning the hearts of the Shakers faithful with a string of outstanding performances, Graham has put pen to paper on a permanent 2-year deal, ensuring one of the Club’s most popular players returns to Gigg Lane.
The talented youngster enjoyed a remarkable campaign in White and Blue, quickly establishing himself as a fan favourite thanks to his tireless work rate, quality on the ball and maturity beyond his years.

Despite being offered a new contract by parent club Wigan Athletic, Graham has chosen to commit his future to Bury, highlighting both his belief in the Club’s ambitions and the special connection he has built with the supporters.
Speaking after completing the move, Graham said:
Manager Anthony Johnson added:
Everyone at Bury Football Club is delighted to welcome Leo back to Gigg Lane and looks forward to seeing him in White and Blue once again.
