February 7, 2025
As part of last weekend’s fixtures, some incredible imagery was captured of VM Elevators within the grounds of Brisbane Road.
We sat down with our Managing Director Simon Whitbread and asked him what it means to be a Community Partner with Leyton Orient.
Simon, what does it mean to you to be a partner with Leyton Orient?
Simon: For us, it’s about being more than just a business in East London—it’s about being part of the community. We take immense pride in supporting initiatives that make a real impact, whether that’s through football, education, or other local projects. This partnership is about strengthening those local ties and showing our commitment to the community.

How do you feel VM Elevators’ involvement benefits the community?
Simon: Our involvement is about creating opportunities. From grassroots football to outreach programmes, we’re backing initiatives that give young people and local businesses the chance to grow. This is all about investing in the future and reinforcing the values that drive both VM Elevators and Leyton Orient.
What excites you most about the future of this partnership?
Simon: The opportunity to see it evolve. The future holds so much potential—whether it’s supporting local talent, providing resources, or simply helping to unite East London. We’re excited to continue building on this partnership and create more meaningful opportunities for everyone involved.
