Dartford FC is delighted to announce that Helvar are to become the latest partner of Dartford Football Club for the 2022/23 season.
Dartford FC would like to thank Helvar for supporting the club and for becoming the first sponsor to appear on all academies kits and the Dartford FC Women’s kit for the 2022/23 season.
Their aim in doing so was to maximise its partnership with the club and the club’s community who support us. Helvar understand that a vision we both share is to help the younger generation in the area as well as promoting Diversity and Equality in supporting the female section to grow.
Helvar, who are based in close proximity to the stadium, on Hawley Road, Dartford, recognised Dartford as a Partner of choice for this season stating ‘’Helvar has had already established operations in the Dartford area, so Dartford Football Club has been on our radar for some time. Part of our ambition and family ethos as an organisation, is to play an important role in the local communities. This is why we were really keen to have this community partnership with Dartford, to support both the academy and women’s set up. As a technology company we are known for innovations but we also have a big focus on investing in the next generation of talent across all our locations. We really hope that our community partnership with Dartford will allow us to support Dartford’s next generation with learning and career opportunities.”

Commercial Manager of Dartford FC, Martin McCarthy, said “Helvar are a company I have known for some time due to its relationships in the community. In trying to help support its own community, there is no better time than now with so many of the clubs teams expanding and growing than they have in recent years. Helvar have noticed this and have sought to be involved with the club on a large scale helping its various sections aim for continued progression.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ben Fryer, Ellie Bristow and Stuart Turner for their continued time and discussions to push Dartford as a ‘Partner of choice’ with their head offices, without which the partnership may have taken longer to cement. Their time and effort is invaluable and we hope to see them at a game or two soon.”
We know all supporters will join us in thanking Helvar for sponsoring our club, and becoming our ‘Partner of choice’ at Dartford FC.
