British football team Newcastle United have announced department store chain Fenwick as their official luxury retail store partner.
The strategic alliance marks the next phase of investment for Fenwick, amid a £40m renovation project to transform its Newcastle flagship into the “ultimate next-generation store for the North East [of England].”
The collaboration comes at a poignant time, coinciding with Fenwick’s bold initiatives, including the launch of its Quiet No More brand campaign.
The national retailer said its new brand campaign, introduced in September, “is all about speaking up, making a statement and putting Fenwick where it should be – in your group chat, on billboards and, crucially, top of your list for style.”
Fenwick’s imprint on St. James’ Park
As a testament to the depth of this collaboration, Fenwick will lend its name and expertise to the Premier League club’s bar The Rooftops at St. James’ Park.
