Partnership with Peterborough United Football Club

We are ecstatic to announce that we have a new partnership with Peterborough United Football Club, becoming their official sponsor from 2024-2027.

This collaboration marks a significant milestone for both and we are looking forward to what promises to be a successful and mutually beneficial relationship.

The Posh have a rich history and a passionate fan base that aligns with our values of community, dedication, and excellence. The club has demonstrated a commitment to growth and success on and off the pitch, making them an ideal partner as we seek to enhance our presence in the local community.

Elite GSS and Elite Timber have featured ads in Peterborough United’s home stadium advertising in the Weston Homes Stadium. This partnership goes beyond mere brand visibility for us. It represents our commitment to supporting the local community.

We are excited to begin this new journey with PUFC. The next few years promise to be a period of growth and achievement for both Elite and the club. Elite is proud to support Peterborough United F.C. as they strive for success in the EFL and beyond. As well, we are also committed to being more than just a sponsor. We aim to be a true partner in the club’s future endeavours.

Both Elite GSS and Elite Timber also encourage you to join us in supporting The Posh as they take to the field. We look forward to celebrating many successes together over the coming seasons.

Up the Posh!

About the Awards evening
Following the success of Elite GSS and MultiMatts in last year’s awards, as part of the Elite Group of companies, Elite Timber Supplies entered for the first time with 2 years of trading achievements to count on.
Knowing that the business had made substantial revenue growth and the level of service that Harry and the team offer, we were confident to enter the ‘Best New Business’ and ‘Business Person of the Year’ awards.

On the night, all nominees were seated to enjoy the three-course meal, along with chatting amongst colleagues and other businesses, and was followed by the presentation.

We are now extremely proud to announce that Harry Ball won the Award and the business took the Silver Award too!

Timber products supplied to Captain Tom Moore Foundation

A variety of different timber related items were sourced to help create a new building for the Captain Tom Moore Foundation.

Elite Timber Supplies worked with the foundation, a local charity/cause for a world without ageism, in order to find the best possible solution by looking at various options from Timber frame to traditional build.
Both agreed that a traditional build option would be best suited for the new foundation building.

Doing our part for the charity
For the initial part of the works, we partnered with a local truss manufacture to supply the roof structure and a local building company to organise the trusses to be fitted.

The next part  of the project was the internal element, that focused on 1st fix to include stud work along with plasterboard which then brought the building up to 2nd fix stage.
 
For the final stage, Elite Timber Supplies provide exterior cladding for the building with a brown softwood rebated featheredge boarding.
We will continue…

“This has been a fantastic project to be apart of and get to know the family and the reasons behind the charity work they are doing and we will continue to support and help where possible in the future.”

Words from the foundation to go forth with their mission

“We’re thrilled with the support that Elite Timber Supplies have provided and their dedication to helping supply goods and installation of materials for our new building.”

Harry has been a pleasure to work with from start to finish, and has worked his socks off to provide us with the best possible solution. 
Throughout, he has made it very clear that he and the business are happy to support the cause and help the community in any way possible.
 
We can say that the building is really coming together so far, and with the exterior cladding we can’t wait to see the finished project!

“Overall, to sum up, the level of service that Elite Timber provides is genuine, trustworthy, fast, and adequate to meet project requirements.”
 
We’ve built a fantastic relationship with Harry and will certainly be in contact, if we have any further projects in the future.

Why do you deserve the title?
Elite Timber Supplies are always striving to support other businesses and charities within the community. One example of this is the Captain Tom Moore Foundation, who we’ve supplied a variety of different timber related items to for their new building project.

We worked to find the best possible solution for the foundation’s objective, by looking at various options from timber frames to traditional builds. With much thought, we decided a traditional build option would be best. For this, we liaised and worked with a local truss manufacturer to supply the roof structure and a local building company to organise the fitting of the trusses, helping to make the task possible.

The next stage was to develop an internal element that focused on first fix, to include studwork along with plasterboard, that has now brought the project to the second fix stage.

The last item that we will source and supply, is the exterior cladding for the building which is a brown softwood rebated featheredge boarding.

It’s been a pleasure to support the Captain Tom Moore Foundation and a fantastic project for us to be a part of! Along the way, we’ve got to know the family, reasons behind the charity work, and we will continue to support and help where possible in the future.

This intent from Elite Timber Supplies will also apply to help other local causes and charities wherever possible!
