Sometimes, supporting your local football team can result in winning both on and off the pitch.

Several years ago, a shared love for their city's club saw the SA1 Group team up with the lcv group – or Low Cost Vans, as we were known then – to form a successful business partnership that continues to grow away from the stadium.

It was as joint sponsors of Swansea City AFC that the two companies first crossed paths, with the SA1 Group, specialists in award-winning IT support, services and infrastructure, becoming the lcv group’s go-to company for any IT issues.

A mutually beneficial relationship, in return SA1 can rely on the lcv group to keep their fleet of cars and vans on the road at the best price.

Simon Ahearne, managing director of SA1 Solutions, said:

“There is nothing better than local businesses supporting each other and we absolutely love working alongside other businesses within the community. The team at the lcv group are simply the best when it comes to customer service and support, and our relationship manager Oliver will always go above and beyond to help us with anything we need, finding us the best deals time after time.”

Oliver Sutherland, account manager at lcv group, said:

“SA1 are a very friendly local business, from the director to all of the staff. We have a great relationship that works both ways – they trust me to find them the best deals on cars and vans, and we trust them to support us with any IT issues we might have. And it’s more than just a work thing; they’re great people, both in the office or at the football.”

Both companies will be backing the Swans once more when the season kicks off this weekend.
