Endsleigh News & Press Releases

Manchester City and Endsleigh Insurance announce insurance partnership that will benefit club development.

Manchester City Football Club has teamed up with Endsleigh Insurance to form an exciting new partnership - Manchester City Insurance Services. The deal means that fans will be able to benefit from superb low cost quotes for car, home and many other insurance services, and at the same time invest in the future of their favourite football team.

For each policy taken out, Manchester City Insurance Services will contribute a percentage to club projects, including improvements to the youth academy and development programme. Initial contributions will go towards the new Pavilion at the Platt Lane Complex. The scheme means that not only will Manchester City fans receive great value insurance cover, but they will also be investing in their club's future growth.

And in addition, all fans who get a quote for one of the policies will have the chance of winning prizes that money can't buy. Up for grabs are shirts and footballs signed by first team members, a signed print and two shirts signed as worn by the players. In addition, there is VIP hospitality for four at a home game, a trip to Carrington Training and Platt Lane Centres and player lunches.

Stuart Wartalski, Head of Corporate Communications at Endsleigh, said: "We are very excited to have finalised this deal with Manchester City. It is great to be able to offer fans good value insurance cover as well as the opportunity to help their team. Endsleigh is committed to developing affinity partnerships across a range of sectors and we are delighted that Manchester City has chosen to take advantage of our experience in the insurance market."

Jim Cassell, Manchester City's Academy Director added: "We are delighted that this partnership will allow fans to see how they have benefited their team. The establishment of a strong and effective Youth Policy for the recruitment and development of young football players is the ongoing objective of Manchester City. The new Pavilion is an excellent addition to the club's facilities, which will be vital to the development of our Academy players, allowing them to train uninterrupted all year round and in all weathers."
