Howzat for a deal as estate agency agrees big-hitting partnership

Knight Frank has announced that it is Leicestershire County Cricket Club Women’s front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2025 season.

The firm’s logo will be displayed on the Foxes’ Vitality Blast and Metro Bank One Day Cup shirts as they embark on their maiden campaign as a Tier Two county this summer.

John Williams, commercial director at Leicestershire CCC, said: “At a hugely exciting time for the Women’s game, especially in Leicestershire, we’re thrilled that Knight Frank has committed to support our shared ambition of developing an immensely successful Women’s team.”

Kicking off against Northants on 20 April, head coach Stephen Franklin’s side will compete on three fronts in a bid to add further silverware alongside their 2022 T20 success and 2023 East of England Championship title.

Becki Brooker, Leicestershire Women captain, said: “As a Club, we have gone from strength to strength in recent seasons. Playing as a Tier Two county affords us the opportunity to compete at a higher level and further inspire the next generation of young girls to play cricket. We’re extremely proud to have Knight Frank’s backing to help us achieve our goals.”

First coming onboard as a Boundary Club sponsor ahead of the 2021 season, the deal is Knight Frank’s latest showing of support for the Club, with the business also having taken on the title of Official Match Sponsor for 2022’s high-profile Tour Match against India at Uptonsteel County Ground.

Knight Frank’s Julian Evans added: “We are delighted to sponsor Leicestershire County Cricket Club’s Women’s team. Knight Frank believes in the power of sport to inspire individuals, strengthen communities, and foster a sense of unity and achievement. This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to support and give back to the communities we serve, and we’re proud to be part of Leicestershire CCC Women’s journey and success.”
