Shirt sponsors Britelite have extended their deal with Maidstone.

They have signed a new contract with United, taking the partnership through to the end of the 2017-18 season.

Dominic Baxter, managing director of the Maidstone-based windows, doors and conservatories business, said: “Britelite Windows are delighted to extend our sponsorship with Maidstone United.

“When we became main sponsor again, the club were playing 12 miles out of town but here we are five years on about to start a season in the top flight of non-league football and playing in front of crowds of more than 2,000 in Maidstone.

“As a company we have really benefited from our association with the club, which has helped raise awareness of the Britelite brand locally and further afield.

“We are enormously proud of what has been achieved and are enjoying the journey with the Stones.”

Club chief executive Bill Williams added: “We are so very fortunate to have a main sponsor like Britelite Windows.

“They have been with us on this incredible journey and we couldn’t have asked for better partners during that time.

“It’s a mark of how far the club have come that Britelite have committed for an additional year ahead of our first season in the National League.”
