Cyber security and Cloud transformation IT experts D2NA have signed a sponsorship deal with high-flying Cheshire football club Macclesfield FC.

And the Stoke-on-Trent based IT specialists are also backing strikers Harry Freedman and Kane Drummond, and midfielder Luke Murphy, as the Silkmen bid for promotion.

The club recently featured in a BBC documentary “From The Ashes”, having been resurrected, by former Welsh international midfielder and broadcaster Robbie Savage, following the demise of former Football League club Macclesfield Town.

They are among the best supported clubs outside the Football League, having recorded attendances over 4,000 twice in recent weeks.

The company will see its name appear on a prominent advertising site at the Leasing.com Stadium. The deal also includes programme advertising, social media mentions and access to Macclesfield’s VIP lounge, sponsored by Mercedes Benz of Macclesfield.

“We’re delighted to sign a deal with such a go-ahead club as Macclesfield,” said Cheryl Chadwick. “They’re flying high at the top of the Northern Premier League West Division and the facilities at the Leasing.com Stadium are first class.

“It’s our first major deal of this kind and we believe the timing is perfect, with both the football club and D2NA sharing plans for growth. D2NA has always had strong community values and we were impressed by how Macclesfield FC’s footballing philosophy goes way beyond the first team.  The club is a hive of activity seven-days a week, with the Macclesfield women’s team and age group teams all using the stadium.”

The 26-strong D2NA team is headed by Managing Director Jonpaul Sargent and Founder Graham Doyle.

Jonpaul said: “We’re based in Staffordshire and have a national reach, so Macclesfield is very much in the heart of our area. We’re hoping to support them all the way back into the English Football League.

The sponsorship package runs for the remainder of the current season and throughout the 2023/24 campaign.
