SPORTS MARKETING TEAM

Our Sports Marketing Manager is directly responsible for dealing with each Kit Manager at the Football Clubs and dealing with all the requirements they need for their 1st Team.

Alongside the 1st Team, our Sports Marketing Manager works with the Youth Teams, Academies, Ladies Teams and the Centre of Excellence, to ensure that every single player involved within each set up is equipped to the needs of the club.

Once the new season’s requirements are all signed off by each club, our Sports Marketing Manager then sparks off the chain of production that then feeds down to our Administration Team to assist with retail purchases based on the 1st Team product selection.

ADMINISTRATION TEAM

A crucial cog in our business are our team of administrators, who oversee everything from analysing sales to arranging stock replenishments, as well as forecasting future sales and ordering new product lines.

The benefits of having a centralised stock control admin team, allows us to ensure that stock levels are monitored on a regular basis. This then provides our Store Managers more time to focus on staff training, creating sales opportunities, and ensuring our stores are looking their very best all the time.

MEDIA & DESIGN TEAM

We have a team of in-house designers who produce artwork across all of our advertising platforms and work alongside each club to produce various campaigns for all of our clubs.

Having an in-house design team allows us to offer a quick turn around on any POS we require to help support campaigns, especially for special events such as a cup final where quick reactive advertising is required.

Our creative department puts together everything from match day programme adverts and in store POS to web advertising, retail e-mails and social media adverts all designed to help promote club related products and drive traffic to the online stores. 

We also carry out all product photography in our photo studio, taking the highest quality image to use for our advertising and online stores. 

Within this department, our Media Manager liaises and works alongside each club to ensure retail promotion and messages are being received by supporters. This department also uses real time website analytics to look at the areas of strengths and weaknesses from our online marketing efforts, identify key areas and use this vital tool to increase sales.

Our in-house Graphics Manager is the final jigsaw piece in our design team. They are responsible for the digitising of all embroideries and sponsor logos and liaising with each of our clubs for production sign off.

IT TEAM

Our on-site IT Manager oversees our entire computer network within in Head Office and across our stores. We know that it is vital that we ensure that all our POS Till systems are operating to the optimal best, especially on the all-important match day!

Our POS Till systems provides our Head Office with real time sales information from both our physical and online stores. This allows our administration team to pore over sales reports and analyse the crucial stock replenishments to keep our stores fully stocked of all sizes, which in turn avoids that vital missed sale.

The IT team are responsible for the daily maintenance and updates for all of our online stores for both our Pro Club and Avec business. All this is centrally dealt with at our Head Office, so that we can provide the best possible service across our entire business.

PRODUCTION & DISTRIBUTION TEAM

Our 20,000 sq ft warehouse allows us to hold all our stock in the UK, as well as housing our on-site embroidery and heat application facilities. Our highly trained production team pride themselves on extremely high standards, with all garments finished to the highest quality, in line with our strict quality control procedures.

Within our warehouse we also have a team who oversee the picking and packing operation either side of the product being embellished. The whole distribution process works in tandem with our administration process to ensure quick efficient replenishment to our stores.

NATIONAL RETAIL MANAGER

Our National Retail Manager is constantly on the road visiting our Club Stores up and down the UK to ensure our high standards we set for each store are being adhered too. The National Retail Manager is not only responsible for areas such as discipline and store layouts, but is heavily involved in the buying processes for our club related accessory purchases.

SALES TEAM

With the expansion of our Avec brand over the past few years, we have increased our sales team to cope with demand and ensure our high customer service standards are met. Our helpful sales team deal with grassroots football clubs across the UK no matter the size of their team, be it a club with 30 teams to a 5-a-side team. The same high level our sales team give each of our customers remains exactly the same.
