At Winder Power, we have a long standing history of supporting the local community and playing an integral role in its success stories. One of our most notable milestones took place in 1981 when we, then known as RF Winder, became the first main shirt sponsor of Leeds United. This partnership not only marked a significant moment in the club’s history but also put our company firmly on the map within the Leeds community.
A Historic Partnership
The RF Winder logo on the iconic white Leeds United shirts became a symbol of shared values of a passion and a commitment to excellence. The shirt design itself holds a special place in the hearts of Leeds United fans, and those nostalgic for this golden era can still get their hands on the RF Winder shirts via the club shop retro section when available, or from vintagefootballshirts.com.
Coming Full Circle
Fast forward to today, and we’re delighted to announce that we’ve reignited our Commercial Partnership with Leeds United. After over four decades, Winder Power and Leeds United are teaming up once again.
Our Transformer Services Director, Andy Pinkney, a passionate and lifelong Leeds United supporter himself, has expressed his enthusiasm for this renewed partnership:
“It’s a privilege for us to reconnect with Leeds United. The club means so much to our business, its employees and our community, and as proud supporters, we’re excited to be a partner again during this promotion push period.
The Future of Winder Power and Leeds United
Through this partnership, our brand will be featured during home games, with the Winder Power brand displayed on screens at Elland Road Stadium. This visibility not only highlights our renewed collaboration but also emphasizes our continued commitment to powering local and national industries.
As a company with deep roots in Yorkshire, this partnership is about more than just visibility; it’s about celebrating our shared history and investing in the future of the community.
Looking Ahead
Rekindling our relationship with Leeds United is more than a partnership deal; it is a celebration of our shared journey. From being the first main front of shirt sponsor to returning as a trusted partner decades later, Winder Power is proud to stand with Leeds United once again.
Here’s to powering success on and off the pitch!
