SPAR Scotland is extending its partnership with the Scottish FA and will continue to sponsor the Scotland Women’s National Team until 2023.
SPAR Scotland originally launched its sponsorship with the Scottish FA in 2019 and throughout 2020 continued to raise the profile of the Scotland Women’s National Team, committing to investing in girls’ and women’s grassroots football across Scotland until 2021.
A key element of the partnership was the introduction of the SPAR Future Stars Football Cup, which is a nationwide Girls’ competition stretching across all six Scottish FA Regions. This presented an opportunity for girls aged 12-16 years to participate in a competitive, fun and inclusive competition for their school.

The event is themed ‘One Family, One Vision’ and will feature a suppliers exhibition, presentations from Spar Scotland and key supplier partners, a live Q&A session, deals on the day for retailers, and ex-marine motivational speaker Andy Grant is booked to speak.
In addition, there will be video one-to-one meetings set up with independent retailers and company-owned store managers.

What will working practice look like post-lockdown? Working from home gives opportunity for a reset. Unfortunately, it has been a long enough break for companies to be struggling to re-establish purpose and culture, but too short for meaningful thought on the future. Should it be left to businesses to experiment with new operating models? The importance of working life within the nation’s economy and health suggests a wider debate is now needed. Might the post-lockdown world merit a national conversation? Employees want a Goldilocks plan of not too much and not too little remote work. But beyond that, agreement ends and the challenge begins.
