As part of the partnership, the Academy will officially be known as the Grange Centre of Excellence Academy, marking an exciting new chapter in the club's commitment to developing young footballing talent and providing a pathway for the next generation of players.

The partnership brings together two organisations with strong roots in Brentwood and a shared commitment to the local community. Founded in Brentwood in 1956, Grange Motors has grown to become one of the UK's leading luxury automotive retailers, representing an impressive portfolio of prestigious and high-performance marques including Aston Martin, Bentley, Jaguar Land Rover, Lamborghini, McLaren and Rolls-Royce through its network of dealerships across the UK.

Investing in the Future

The partnership represents an important step forward for Brentwood Town's Academy, strengthening the support behind the youth football programme as it continues to provide opportunities for young players to develop their ability, learn the game and progress through the club.

The Grange Centre of Excellence Academy plays a vital role in the future of Brentwood Town, with over 250 boys and girls involved, helping to nurture talent, build confidence and create a positive environment in which young players can thrive both on and off the pitch.

The new partnership reflects a shared commitment to investing in young people, creating opportunities for aspiring footballers and supporting the long-term growth of the club.

Jez Dickinson, Chairman of Brentwood Town FC, said:

"We're delighted to welcome Grange Motors as the official sponsor of our Centre of Excellence Academy. This partnership represents a significant investment in the future of Brentwood Town and the hundreds of young players who are part of our pathway programme.

"Developing local talent is at the heart of what we do, and to work alongside a business that not only shares our commitment to the community but also traces its roots back to Brentwood makes this partnership especially meaningful. We look forward to working together to create even more opportunities for young players to grow, develop and fulfil their potential."

From the youngest age groups through to older Academy sides, the Grange Centre of Excellence Academy will continue to play a key role in developing players and strengthening the pathway into senior football at Brentwood Town.
