Accrington Stanley can today confirm that after seven years, HML Recycling will be stepping down as the club’s official Jack Barrett Main Stand Sponsor this summer, whilst continuing as our official The Snug Sponsor.

HML Recycling, who began sponsoring the Jack Barrett Main Stand in 2018, were originally established in 1965 and has steadily grown to become recognised as one of the leading metal recyclers in the North West.

The Hyndburn-based business also prides itself on supporting and giving back to the local community, which has seen them support the club’s Big Shirt Giveaways, Food Bank Collections, and Funfair and Fireworks Displays, as well as a special collaboration that saw over 90 football shirts delivered to children in India.

Having extended their support by taking over The Snug in May 2024, HML Recycling – whose Managing Director, Stuart Rogan, is the son-in-law of former Stanley player and manager, Dave Baron – will continue to sponsor the private dining venue within the 1968 Lounge across 2025/26.

Accrington Stanley’s Chief Executive Officer, Warren Eastham, said:

“Everyone at Accrington Stanley Football Club would like to thank HML Recycling for their unbelievable support over the last seven years.

“Not only have HML Recycling sponsored the Jack Barrett Main Stand, but they have gone above and beyond to support our Big Shirt Giveaways, Food Bank Collections, Funfair and Fireworks Displays, and more!

“We are also delighted that HML Recycling will be continuing to sponsor The Snug, and we look forward to working with them throughout 2025/26 and the upcoming Sky Bet League Two campaign.”

HML Recycling’s Managing Director, Stuart Rogan, said:

“HML Recycling are proud to have supported the club and the Jack Barrett Main Stand sponsorship for the last seven years and will continue to support the club for the coming season, as sponsors of The Snug.

“On Stanley On!”
