Ipswich Wanderers announce a ground renaming deal


Pitching In Isthmian North side Ipswich Wanderers have announced a ground naming deal, after entering a partnership with GBS Builders (Ipswich) Ltd. The Doucy will now be known as the GBS Stadium- as you can see from the image!

Chairman Stephen Boyle explained:

“Joe Garnham and his team have proven to be invaluable partners for our club, not just in helping with achieving the ground grading requirements, but also in completing the clubhouse rebuild.

The ground has been known as SEH Sports Ground for years, but in our recent lease agreement we now have the ability to drive forward new commercial investment including naming rights. We’re fully committed to making The GBS Stadium one of the premier football facilities around.”

Joe, who is the MD at GBS Builders, added:

“I’ve been delighted to work with Steve, Rick, Glen and everyone at the club to help improve their facilities and footballing fortunes. It’s clearly a club with huge ambitions and massive potential”.

The club have also announced plans to build new dugouts, install LED floodlights, and floated the idea of building a new main stand with integrated changing rooms.

GBS Builders have thirty years of experience in Fire Protection, Diamond Drilling, Commercial Building, Health & Safety and Asbestos removal- and you can read more about them here.
