Select Car Leasing shortlisted for community award

Select Car Leasing is firmly in the driving seat after being shortlisted for a prestigious award in recognition of its support of grassroots football.

In June 2021, Select Car Leasing became Principal Partner of Reading Football Club.

And by working in collaboration with the Reading F.C Community Trust and the club Academy, as well as charitable organisations, Select has supported a number of grassroots initiatives designed to improve the lives of young people.

Select Car Leasing, headquartered in Reading, has provided kits for teams, meals for underprivileged children, and has also given away more than a thousand free tickets to watch Reading at the Select Car Leasing Stadium.

In recognition of those achievements, Select has been shortlisted for the 'Grassroots Sports Sponsorship ' prize at The UK Sponsorship Awards 2023.

Mark Tongue (pictured), director of Select Car Leasing, says the award nomination recognises the firm 's commitment to being a 'socially-responsible business '.

“On behalf of everyone at Select Car Leasing who has worked on these campaigns, we 're thrilled and excited to be shortlisted for a prize at The UK Sponsorship Awards 2023.

“As a grassroots football coach myself, I know the challenges facing teams and families when it comes to funding and support.

“And by working in conjunction with both Reading F.C and the Grassroots FA, we 've been able to give something back to the community while also building long-term relationships with local enterprises and industry leaders.

“We 're proud to be shortlisted in the 'Grassroots Sports Sponsorship ' award category, and we 're very much looking forward to the event itself. ”

The awards take place on Tuesday March 28 at the London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square in Mayfair.

Select 's award nomination highlights three unique campaigns - 'Meals for Kids ', Kit Sponsorship, and 'Tickets for Kids '.
