Suzuki GB has extended its sponsorship deal of local football club, the MK Dons.

This new commitment extends Suzuki’s long-standing relationship with the ‘Dons, after becoming title partners back in 2014. The Suzuki logo will remain across the first-team playing shirt and replica kits through to an eighth season, while there will continue to be extensive Suzuki branding around Stadium MK.

What’s more, Suzuki has maintained its investment into MK Dons’ community initiatives, providing support for the women’s team as well as the many inclusion and disability activities run by the MK Dons Sport and Education Trust.

MK Dons chairman, Pete Winkelman, said, “This is fantastic news for MK Dons and the Milton Keynes community. Suzuki has been terrific in its support of MK Dons throughout their time as title partners, but particularly during this extremely difficult period, and they have demonstrated their commitment to the football club by agreeing this new deal at this time.

“Not only will it be fantastic to see the globally recognised Suzuki logo remain on the first-team shirts, but I’m also thrilled that they will be able to continue their excellent work in the community alongside the MK Dons Sport and Education Trust.

“Suzuki is a credit to this city and we’re extremely proud to have this association. It’s a privilege for us to work alongside a company at the top of its game, that cares so much about our football club and our city.”

Nobuo Suyama, managing director of Suzuki GB PLC, said, “Our long-established sponsorship of MK Dons has proved a successful and mutually beneficial partnership. Continuing as title sponsor provides a solid foundation on which to further our relationship with the club and maintain the support of the renowned and invaluable work of MK Dons in the surrounding community. Suzuki has been based in Milton Keynes for over 15 years and we are proud to be part of the area’s successful commercial sector.

“We are delighted to announce further sponsorship with the MK Dons; as well as reaching out to people outside our business, we also see it as a great way of building pride and engagement with our head office staff, many of whom live in and around the city.”
