Falkirk Football Club is delighted to welcome Derek Heeps Ltd Scrap & Bulk Haulage as our Official Captain’s Armband Sponsor for the 2026/27 season.
Based locally in Bo’ness, Derek Heeps Ltd is a family-run haulage business specialising in scrap and bulk transport, with its vehicles operating across the length and breadth of the UK.
The company has been based in the local area for more than 30 years and employs people from across the Falkirk and Bo’ness communities.
As part of the Captain’s Armband partnership, the Derek Heeps Ltd logo will feature on the armband worn by the Falkirk captain throughout the 2026/27 season.
The sponsorship will also allow the club to continue the popular initiative which sees the captain present the match-worn armband to a young Falkirk supporter after each home fixture, giving Bairns a unique memento and a memorable connection with the team.
Sean Skelly, Head of Commercial at Falkirk FC, said:
“We’re delighted to welcome Derek Heeps Ltd as our Captain’s Armband Sponsor for the 2026/27 season.
“This is exactly the type of partnership we love to build at Falkirk. Derek Heeps Ltd is a successful local business which operates right across the UK, but the people behind it have remained firmly connected to the area and to Falkirk Football Club.
“This partnership gives a really visible connection with the team on a matchday, while their support also allows us to continue presenting the match-worn armband to a young Falkirk supporter after every home game.
“It’s a fantastic initiative which creates a special moment for young Bairns, and we’re delighted that Derek Heeps Ltd are helping us continue it throughout the season.”
“I’d also like to also thank Falkirk Daft for their support of the Captain’s Armband over the previous three seasons and for everything they continue to do with the Club.”
Carrie Heeps of Derek Heeps Ltd said:
“We are extremely proud to have Derek Heeps Ltd Scrap & Bulk Haulage associated with Falkirk Football Club as Captain’s Armband Sponsor.
“Although our lorries work throughout the whole of the UK, our roots are firmly in Bo’ness and the wider Falkirk area. We employ local people and we’re proud to have built and grown the business from within our local community.
“Our connection with Falkirk FC is personal as well as through the business. Three of us are season-ticket holders and we follow the team home and away every week, so getting involved with the Club was something that meant a lot to us.
“For us this isn’t simply about advertising the company. It’s about supporting our local club and giving something back, and we’re incredibly proud to see the Derek Heeps Ltd name associated with the captain’s armband this season.
“We’re looking forward to the season ahead and continuing to support the Bairns.”
