Ipswich Town is excited to announce Halo as the Club’s new Sleeve Sponsor.
The Stowmarket-based service management specialists become a Principal Partner of the Club, with the Halo logo appearing on the left sleeve of Town’s home, away, third and goalkeeper kits, beginning from this weekend’s game against Norwich City.
The partnership with Halo, who also partner the McLaren Formula 1 Team and have their logo displayed on their cars, will initially run to the end of the 2026/27 season and sees two Suffolk businesses join forces.
Halo join front-of-shirt sponsor Ed Sheeran’s Mathematics Tour and the Ipswich Town Foundation logos in showcasing Suffolk on the Blues’ jerseys, while the business’s branding will also take on a significant presence inside Portman Road, on top of the Cobbold Stand executive boxes.
Town CEO, Mark Ashton, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be working with Halo as a new Principal Partner of the Club.
“To be partnering with another Suffolk business is a real source of pride for us all and we are looking forward to seeing the Halo logo on our playing kits.”
Halo is the largest service management software vendor in the UK and have committed to a long-term future in Suffolk, continuing to harness exceptional local talent despite pressures to relocate to Silicone Valley.
Paul Hamilton, Halo CEO, said: “We’re proud to partner with Ipswich Town at such an exciting time for the Club and are excited to see our logo on the kits for the first time against Norwich.
“As a Suffolk business ourselves, joining forces with and supporting such a high-profile presence within the county feels like a natural fit for us, with both Halo and the Club sharing many of the same values.
“We are committed to the county and are working to become the world’s first purebred unicorn business, with the aim of reaching a billion-pound valuation without outside investment, and are looking forward to what we all hope is continued success both on and off the pitch.”
Town’s Commercial Director, Andy Wooldridge, added: “This agreement is a significant step for the Club, as we look to develop our Club Partner programme.
“It is important that we partner with the right organisations and Halo are compatible with the Club on so many levels. They may have the local roots with their talented team of people living in our community, but they are a global business and a leader in their field.
“We look forward to working with Paul and his team on this exciting partnership over the next three-and-a-half years and beyond.”
Supporters will be able to add the new sponsorship logo to the sleeve of all replica kits in the coming weeks, with the support of Halo meaning all proceeds from this will go to the Ipswich Town Foundation.
