We were delighted to be the matchday sponsor for West Ham United’s home fixture against Southampton FC at London Stadium on Saturday 24 October 2026.
For everyone at RightLease, it was an occasion to be proud of. Having our business associated with the fixture gave us the opportunity to introduce RightLease to supporters while celebrating a club with a personal connection to our team.
As a family business, we put a great deal of ourselves into what we do. We care about the people we work with, the service we provide and the reputation we build with every customer. Being able to bring that business into a football setting that means so much to us made this sponsorship particularly rewarding.
We were pleased to play a part in the occasion and would like to thank West Ham United for the opportunity.
A personal connection to West Ham United
There is a good reason this fixture meant so much to us. Our Managing Director, Gary Hodder, is a lifelong West Ham United supporter, with his connection to the club passed down from his dad.
That family connection made sponsoring West Ham’s match against Southampton an especially satisfying moment. When a club has been part of your life for years, the opportunity to associate your own business with one of its home fixtures carries real significance.
It also reflects something familiar to many football supporters: following a club often begins with family. A parent introduces you to the team, the colours become familiar and supporting the club becomes something you share.
Family is central to RightLease too. Several of Gary’s family members are involved in the business, so there was a natural personal connection behind our decision to sponsor the match. It brought together two things that matter to us: the business we are building and a club Gary has supported throughout his life.
Bringing the RightLease name to London Stadium
Sponsoring West Ham United v Southampton was an opportunity to put RightLease in front of people who may not have come across us before.
For a business like ours, that introduction matters. Choosing a company to help arrange your next car or van is a decision that involves trust. People want to know who they are dealing with, what the business stands for and whether someone will take the time to help them properly.
Our matchday sponsorship offered another way for supporters to discover our name and find out about the people behind it. We hope it encouraged anyone considering their next vehicle to take a look at what we do.
London Stadium was a memorable setting for that introduction. Having RightLease associated with a West Ham home fixture was something we could take pride in as a team, particularly knowing the connection the club has to Gary and his family.
If you first discovered us through the Southampton fixture or our sponsorship announcement on social media, welcome to RightLease.
The people behind RightLease
We want people who discover RightLease to get a clear sense of the business behind the name.
We are a family business with a straightforward approach to helping customers. We believe people should feel comfortable asking questions, discussing what they need and taking the time to understand their options.
That matters because everyone comes to us with a different starting point. Some customers know the exact car and specification they want. Others are replacing a family vehicle, arranging their first lease or working out what would suit a changing business.
Our job is to listen and help them move forward with confidence. We want the conversation to feel useful from the beginning, whether someone is ready to enquire about a particular vehicle or is still narrowing down their choices.
The sponsorship gave us a chance to introduce that business to a wider audience. We would like anyone who noticed our name through the fixture to feel welcome to get in touch and meet the team behind it.
Thank you to the customers who support us
An occasion like this also gives us a reason to recognise the people who support RightLease.
To our customers, thank you for choosing us to help arrange your vehicles. To everyone who has recommended us to a friend, relative or colleague, we appreciate the confidence you have placed in our team.
Personal recommendations mean a great deal to a business. When someone passes on our name, they are trusting us to look after another person. We take that seriously.
We are grateful, too, to everyone who follows our updates, shares our news or takes an interest in what we are doing. Our West Ham United v Southampton sponsorship was a moment we were pleased to share with you.
Discover personal and business vehicle leasing with RightLease
If the fixture introduced you to RightLease, we would love to help when you next need a car or van.
