Aberdeen FC and Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce (AGCC) have announced the continuation of their partnership, further strengthening the ties between two of the North-east’s most recognisable and respected organisations.
As part of the renewed agreement, the Chamber will elevate their status to an Official Partner of the Dons, while the club will continue to benefit from Premier Partner status with AGCC, as both strive to influence and deliver the future economic prosperity of the region, using sport as a mechanism for engagement and change.
The Scottish Cup Winners will also sponsor the trophies at the forthcoming Northern Star Business Awards (NSBA), AGCC’s flagship event celebrating business excellence across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
Russell Borthwick, Chief Executive of Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce, said: “Together, we share a common goal: to celebrate and support the strength of business and community in Aberdeen and the North-east. This continued partnership is a fantastic opportunity to bring the business community and local sport together in a meaningful way.
“We are especially proud that Aberdeen FC will be the NSBA trophy sponsors for the next two years, helping to shine a spotlight on excellence across the business community. Like the club, the Chamber is committed to fostering ambition, resilience, innovation, celebrating success and together we look forward to strengthening the connections between business, sport, and our wider community.”

“Sponsoring the Northern Star Business Awards trophies is a great way for us to recognise the huge contribution businesses make to the region, and we look forward to working closely with Russell and his team to champion both the achievements of our business community and the wider impact of collaboration between sport and commerce.”
