Spireites collaborate with fellow Chesterfield business to create exciting new product for fans

3rd July 2024

Chesterfield Football Club has collaborated with local business and fellow Chesterfield Champion, CarMats.co.uk to launch a custom product for supporters.

Spireites who want to add a personal touch to their motors can now purchase car mats with a Chesterfield FC logo on, ensuring the club crest travels with them wherever they go to support the team for the club’s first season back in the EFL.

The mats come in a variety of materials and can be customised with a selection of colour, trim and embroidery options. All mats are made to order in the UK.

Ash Young, owner of CarMats.co.uk commented: “We are delighted to have been able to support the club during their promotion winning campaign and took great delight in seeing our logo in the background of so many memorable moments last season.

“As a treasured community asset, we know how important it is to support the work the football club does both on and off the pitch.”

“We hope our Official Chesterfield FC car mats will be the perfect travel companion for supporters on their trips to Football League grounds next season.

Chesterfield FC Marketing Manager, Bridget Ball said: “We are delighted to be working with a local company to provide club-branded car mats.

“We always try to source products locally and support local enterprises, so it is great to be working with Ash and his colleagues.

“I’m sure that the mats will prove to be very popular with our supporters!”

Ann Fomukong-Boden, Destination Chesterfield Board Member commented: “It is very encouraging to see our Chesterfield Champions collaborating to boost our local economy. Business collaboration encourages innovation, creates further growth and opportunity, and drives sustainable growth. By working together, businesses can unlock new potential and contribute to Chesterfield’s growing economy.”

CarMats.co.uk unveils 7,500 sq ft warehouse in Chesterfield

11th October 2023

CarMats.co.uk, a business specialising in UK-manufactured tailored car mats to fit every make and model, has announced the grand opening of its 7,500 sq ft warehouse facility located on Chesterfield Trading Estate.

This new facility is set to play a pivotal role in the company’s ongoing expansion. The spacious facility grants the business the much-needed capacity to diversify its product offerings and creates job opportunities for local talent.

Ash Young, Founder of CarMats.co.uk, shared his thoughts on their new warehouse, the company’s growth journey, the significance of Chesterfield, and their commitment to local job creation.

He commented: “I launched CarMats.co.uk during the COVID-19 lockdown. At the time, I was also running a digital agency in Sheffield. I set an ambitious goal of achieving £1 million in revenue within the first year. I took the leap to document my progress on social media, and gained lots of followers interested in my journey with this start-up. We actually reached the £1 million mark just nine months after launching and, as of 2023, our revenue has reached £5 million.

“Our new warehouse on Chesterfield Trading Estate is a game-changer for us in terms of expanding our business. It brings our remote team together, enabling a more collaborative work environment. Having stock, order processing, customer support, and marketing all under one roof streamlines our operations. Plus, it provides the much-needed space to stock a wider range of products, which is essential for our growth.”

Speaking on how Chesterfield’s strategic location will benefit his business, Ash added: “Chesterfield is the perfect location for our growth plans. It’s got excellent transport connections across the country, which is essential for our distribution network.

“It also provides cost-effective warehouse space and access to a highly skilled local workforce. As we expand, we plan to create more job opportunities in the local area. We’re looking to add another five roles over the next year, with the first hire planned for November. We’re excited about contributing to local employment.

“Personally, this move is significant for me. It brings our team together in a physical location, which is great for collaboration, but as a Chesterfield resident, it also allows me to balance my work with family life. I still want to be able to do the school run every day!”
