Goalposts
Bridle Insurance moved the goalposts all the way from inland Oxford to the beach life of Eastleigh

DID you know that Bridle Insurance, owner of Bridle Vehicle Leasing, is the majority owner of Eastleigh FC?

No, we didn’t either!

But having been the primary sponsor of championship side Oxford United for several years, the owners did a quick one-two and ended up putting the ball in the back of Eastleigh’s net.

Bridle took over the reigns at Eastleigh FC, who currently lie sixth in the Conference South league, in March 2012.

“We were talking to Oxford Utd about renewing our sponsorship, and through an introduction ended up buying Eastleigh!” says Alan Carreras, boss of Bridle Vehicle Leasing.

“Oxford was close to our Witney base, but we also have a Bridle Insurance office in Chandler’s Ford just up the road from Eastleigh in Hampshire, so it made sense and keeps it all local.”

More than just local. It’s keeping it all in the leasing broker family. Bridle owned Eastleigh play in the Conference league, sponsored by…Vanarama!
