About us...
Grassroots Graphix was set up a couple of years after I had stopped coaching my son’s team when he moved to a new club.
The coach did the match reports (which I used to do for my old team) so I started to look at how else I could help and the idea was born to do matchday graphics for their fixtures and results. A small investment into a tripod, green screen and some graphic design software led me to launch Grassroots Graphix.
Within weeks we had our first client, Felling Magpies, where we did shoots for 19 teams from U7s through to the U21s, creating team videos, fixture templates, Player of the Match, Trainer of the Week etc.
Other teams followed and since the launch in August 2022, we have done shoots for over 80 teams, from over 20 different clubs.
In August 2023, we launched our new packages, The Allianz, The Bernabeu and The Wembley, which suit whatever needs a club may have, be it digital memories for young sporting stars, through to a fully bespoke design service for adult teams, crafting graphics for each match in a season.
December 2023 saw Grassroots Graphix provide sponsorship to a local team to us. We are now proud away/training kit sponsors for Sunderland City Juniors Raich Carter U11s team. It is an exciting time for the club as it grows quickly and we are super proud to be a part of that moving forward.
Moving into 2024, it is going to be an exciting year as we look to properly launch our bespoke design service and also offer printed merchandise for our customers.
A massive and heartfelt thank you to all of the clubs who helped us get off the ground, and in particular thanks to Nicky Ikin and Gav Willis who have been incredible supporters of the business and have done a lot to promote us and spread the word.
I also can’t ignore the incredible support from my wife Kelly and from my son Flynn who often helps me out at photoshoots.
