Coeval sponsors both Garry Housley and his son Kyle at Worksop Town FC, extending its backing beyond the players to those who keep the club running. This marks the third consecutive season Coeval has supported Kyle and the first time Garry receives sponsorship too.
Worksop Town FC, known as the Tigers, was founded in 1861 and ranks as the fourth oldest football club worldwide. The club competes in the National League North and hosts matches at the KC Sofas Stadium in Worksop, Nottinghamshire. The ground holds 3,200 spectators and has seen many notable matches under manager Craig Parry.
Kyle Housley – Head Kitman Duties
Kyle Housley serves as head kitman, a role vital to matchdays that receives little attention from supporters. His responsibilities include preparing kits and managing logistics on game days. This job relies on consistent effort rather than public recognition. Coeval states it sponsors Kyle to acknowledge this essential contribution.
Kyle said, "I'm really grateful to Coeval Ltd for their ongoing support and for coming back on board as sponsors for the upcoming season in the National League North. It’s great to have such strong backing, and I’m looking forward to a successful season ahead."
Garry Housley’s 12 Years with Coeval
Garry Housley has worked at Coeval for 12 years. This milestone was recently recognised by the company. He now assists his son in the kitman role at Worksop Town, combining his commitment at work with his support for the club.
Garry commented, "Really proud to hit 12 years working with Coeval Limited. It’s even more special now because I get to help my son as his assistant in his role as Head Kitman at Worksop Town. We really appreciate Coeval’s continued support both for Kyle and for myself and we’re all excited for what’s to come and the success we hope to share."
Backing People Behind the Club
Coeval describes its sponsorship approach as investing in people rather than seeking visibility on shirts. Supporting a father and son both volunteering at the same club reflects its focus on recognising personal commitments outside work.
Such investment in individuals contributes to the culture Coeval emphasises, both within the company and in the wider community.
