Matlock Town Football Club is delighted to announce a new sponsorship agreement with HJ Enthoven, which will see the Matlock-based company become the official sponsor of the club’s main stand at the Proctor Cars Stadium.
The partnership brings together two organisations with deep roots in the local community and reflects a shared commitment to long-term development, sustainability and supporting the people of Matlock and the surrounding area.
Headquartered in Matlock, HJ Enthoven is one of Europe’s leading lead recyclers, transforming end-of-life car batteries into high-purity lead and alloys used in the manufacture of new batteries. The company plays a vital role in the circular economy, recovering valuable resources that support essential industries including renewable energy, construction and transport.
Operating from its Darley Dale site for decades, HJ Enthoven has built an outstanding reputation for combining a proud industrial heritage with a strong commitment to sustainability, safety and responsible operations. The business employs a highly skilled local workforce and processes significant volumes of recycled material each year, supplying manufacturers across the UK and Europe.
The club is proud to partner with a company whose values closely align with those of Matlock Town, with both organisations placing great importance on teamwork, resilience, community engagement and building for the future.
Speaking about the new partnership, HJ Enthoven Managing Director John Manning said:
“We’re proud to continue our support of Matlock Town Football Club through the sponsorship of the main stand. As a business with deep roots in Matlock, community engagement and sustainable, long-term development are central to what we do. At HJ Enthoven, our focus on recycling and the circular economy is about creating lasting value — for industry and for the communities we’re part of. Football clubs play a vital role in bringing people together, and we’re pleased to support a club that sits at the heart of the town.”
Matlock Town Chairman David Hilton added:
“We’re thrilled to welcome HJ Enthoven as the sponsor of our main stand. As one of Matlock’s most recognisable businesses, they have a long-standing commitment to the local community, making this a partnership that feels like a natural fit. We’re incredibly grateful for their support and look forward to working closely together over the coming years as we continue to develop both on and off the pitch.”
HJ Enthoven continues to invest in innovation and environmental performance, ensuring it remains a responsible and forward-looking contributor to both industry and the local community. The company also offers employment opportunities throughout the year, with recruitment enquiries welcomed via Recruitment.uklead@hjenthoven.com.
Everyone at Matlock Town Football Club would like to place on record our sincere thanks to John Manning, Phil Needham and everyone at HJ Enthoven for their support. We look forward to seeing the HJ Enthoven Main Stand become a prominent feature of the Proctor Cars Stadium and to building a successful partnership for many years to come.
