Layer 4 Announces Three-Year Partnership with Chester FC

Published on 31 Jul, 2026

At Layer 4, we believe the strongest partnerships are built on more than business. They’re built on shared values, trust and a commitment to making a positive difference.

That’s why we’re incredibly proud to announce our new three-year commercial partnership with Chester FC.

As a managed IT services provider, we spend every day helping organisations across the UK and Ireland work smarter, stay secure and embrace technology with confidence. While technology is at the heart of what we do, people are always our priority. We believe in building long-term relationships, supporting our customers and investing in the communities where we live and work.

When the opportunity arose to partner with Chester FC, it felt like a natural fit.

More Than a Football Club
Chester FC has built a reputation for much more than what happens on the pitch. The club plays an important role within the local community, bringing together supporters, businesses and volunteers who share a genuine passion for the city and its future.

Those values closely reflect our own.

At Layer 4, we understand that long-term success comes from collaboration, reliability and teamwork. Whether we’re supporting a growing business with proactive managed IT services, protecting organisations through cyber security, or helping teams communicate more effectively with cloud and telecoms solutions, our focus is always on building trusted relationships that last.

It’s this shared commitment to performance, partnership and continuous development that makes Chester FC such an exciting organisation to work alongside.

Investing in Our Community
Although we support businesses across the UK and Ireland, we’re proud of our roots and remain committed to investing in the communities around us.

This partnership represents more than sponsorship. It’s about becoming part of a wider network of local organisations that are working together to create opportunities, strengthen relationships and contribute positively to the region.

Over the next three years, we’ll be engaging with fellow sponsors, local businesses and Chester FC supporters, creating new opportunities to collaborate and build meaningful connections both on and off the pitch.

We’re excited to become part of the club’s journey while continuing our own.

A Shared Vision for the Future
Speaking about the partnership, Layer 4 Managing Director Mark Hill said:

“We’re incredibly proud to be partnering with Chester FC over the next three years. As a business, we believe in building lasting relationships, supporting our local communities and working alongside organisations that share our values.

Chester FC has an outstanding reputation, and we’re excited to be part of the club’s journey. We look forward to supporting the club, engaging with fellow sponsors and supporters, and building a partnership that delivers value for everyone involved.”

We couldn’t agree more.

Our goal has always been to provide more than excellent IT support. We want to become a trusted partner that helps organisations succeed through reliable technology, proactive advice and genuine relationships.

Partnering with Chester FC reflects that same long-term mindset.

Looking Ahead
As the new season gets underway, we’re looking forward to joining supporters at the Deva Stadium, meeting fellow businesses and playing our part in what promises to be an exciting chapter for both Layer 4 and Chester FC.

We’d like to thank everyone at Chester FC for the warm welcome. We’re excited about what the next three years will bring and look forward to building a partnership that benefits the club, the local business community and everyone connected with it.

Here’s to the start of an exciting journey together!
