Cornerstone Finance Group is sponsoring Sheffield FC – the world’s first football club – for the 2026-27 season.
The Group, which was recognised as one of the Fast Growth Index UK’s Top 250 fastest-growing companies in 2025, has an office in Sheffield.
It is supporting the club, which was established in 1857, through pitch-side sponsorship at the club’s ground, the MEPS International Home of Football Stadium.
Rugby league club Sheffield Eagles also plays at the ground, which has a capacity of just over 2,000.
Cornerstone Finance Group recently strengthened its presence in England through the establishment of its Sheffield office, complementing its headquarters in Cardiff.
Gareth Hope, our Training and Capability Manager, is based at the firm’s Sheffield office.
He said: “We’re proud of our growing UK-wide presence and as we continue to expand it’s important that we continue to support the communities that are home to our people and our partners.
“Sheffield plays an important role within Cornerstone, and there is something truly special about Sheffield FC as the world’s first football club.
“The club has a passionate supporter base, ambitious plans for the future and a growing profile across both the men’s and women’s game. It represents a proud part of the city’s sporting heritage.”
Haydn Thomas, Our CEO, said: “Partnerships like this help us maintain strong local connections and support organisations that make a real difference within their communities. We’re delighted to be supporting Sheffield FC and look forward to following their progress throughout the season.”
