The renewed partnership will build on the club’s long-standing relationship with the city centre shopping destination and also include sponsorship of Wolves Women, with Mander Centre branding featuring on the women’s first-team’s playing kit.
Located just a short walk from Molineux, the Mander Centre has been a major retail destination in the centre of Wolverhampton since 1968. The shopping outlet has over 70 stores offering products such as luxury goods, sports, beauty, and homeware, and also boasts several cafes including the recently opened Ava’s Café, located in Frasers.
Russell Jones, Wolves’ general manager for marketing & commercial growth, said: “This expanded partnership is testament to the positive working relationship we have with the Mander Centre.
“While the city is going through a period of transition, it’s great to see the Mander Centre thriving, and welcoming lots of well-known retail brands to Wolverhampton. I was really impressed with the atmosphere, and retail experience at Christmas, and I’d actively encourage fans that haven’t been for a while to stop by.
“I’m also delighted to see the Mander Centre support our women’s first team, who will become ambassadors for the centre. These funds are vital to improve the infrastructure for Wolves Women as they continue their pursuit of WSL football.”
Commenting on the partnership, Richard Scharenguivel, centre manager, said: “We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with Wolverhampton Wanderers and endorse the success that the football club brings to the Mander Centre and wider city, as well as showcasing our shopping centre to the passionate supporters at Molineux.
“It’s especially exciting to support Wolves Women at a time of significant growth, and we are proud to work alongside the University of Wolverhampton as local businesses providing new and much needed investment in the women’s game.
“We look forward to working closely with club over the coming years.”
