We are delighted to announce TrustFord Carlisle as our new back-of-shirt sponsor.
The TrustFord Carlisle branding will appear on the reverse of the Queens home and away shirts for the 2026/27 season, worn in our William Hill League One, the Scottish Cup and the SPFL Trust Trophy fixtures.
The partnership extends beyond shirt branding as TrustFord Carlisle and the club will work together on matchday activity at Palmerston Park with vehicle display, customer-facing activations and will have joint community initiatives across Dumfries & Galloway and Cumbria throughout the course of the season. We hope that the back of the shirt sponsorship for this season will be the start of a longer-term relationship between the two organisations.
Mike Bell, General Manager at TrustFord Carlisle, said “Queen of the South is a club with real history and a support base that stretches well beyond Dumfries, including into Cumbria and right onto our own doorstep. Backing Queens was an easy decision for us. We wanted a partnership that puts us in front of a community we already serve every day, rather than a logo on a shirt and nothing behind it. Our intention from the outset is that this runs well past one season.”
Ryan Paton, New Car Sales Manager at TrustFord Carlisle, added “A lot of our customers travel between Carlisle and Dumfries as a matter of routine, so the two areas are far more connected than the border suggests. We’re looking forward to being at Palmerston on matchdays, meeting supporters properly and being visible as a local business rather than just a name on the back of a shirt.”
While our CEO, Dan Armstrong said “We’re delighted to welcome TrustFord Carlisle to the club. Commercial partnerships of this kind are genuinely important to how we operate and invest, and it is particularly pleasing to bring in a partner that understands the cross-border community our support comes from. Mike, Ryan and the team have been excellent to deal with, and we’re looking forward to building something that lasts well beyond this season.”
