At Shield Pest Control, our sponsorship of Cray Wanderers Football Club represents far more than a logo on a shirt – it reflects a shared commitment to community, heritage and long-term partnership. This was proudly highlighted at Cray Wanderers FC’s Sponsors Day on Friday 12th December, an evening that celebrated the vital role sponsors play in supporting the club both on and off the pitch.
As one of England’s oldest football clubs, founded in 1860, Cray Wanderers FC is deeply rooted in the twin villages of St Mary Cray and St Paul’s Cray. For generations, the club has been a focal point of local pride, resilience and togetherness. These values closely align with Shield Pest Control’s own 50-year history, built on trust, reliability and a strong commitment to serving local communities. Our sponsorship is a natural extension of these shared principles.
The Sponsors Day provided an opportunity for the club to recognise and thank its partners, including Shield Pest Control, for the ongoing support that helps sustain and develop the club. We were pleased to attend as sponsors and guests at the home fixture against Whitehawk, enjoying warm hospitality and the chance to engage with fellow businesses who, like us, are invested in the club’s future success.
Beyond the match day experience, the evening reinforced the importance of sponsorship in strengthening the foundations of local sport. By supporting Cray Wanderers FC, Shield Pest Control is proud to contribute to the club’s continued growth, its connection to supporters, and its ability to remain a thriving part of the local community.
Shield Pest Control’s Managing Director, Daniel Steward, reflected on the partnership, saying: “Our sponsorship of Cray Wanderers FC is something we are extremely proud of. The club’s heritage, values and community focus align closely with our own at Shield. Events like Sponsors Day highlight how important strong partnerships are in supporting local football, and we are delighted to play our part in the club’s journey.”
As Shield Pest Control marks 50 years of service, our focus remains on building meaningful, long-term partnerships with organisations that share our dedication to service, longevity and community impact. Sponsoring Cray Wanderers FC is a partnership we truly value, and we are grateful to the club for recognising the importance of its sponsors and hosting such a memorable occasion.
We look forward to continuing our sponsorship in the seasons ahead, strengthening our relationship with Cray Wanderers FC and supporting the local communities that are central to both our histories.
