The Ref Stop
2nd July 2026
We’re proud to announce that our long-standing partnership with Surrey FA has been renewed for a further two years — continuing our shared commitment to the development, support, and wellbeing of referees at every level of the game.
As part of this renewed agreement, all registered Surrey FA referees will continue to benefit from an exclusive 10% discount on online orders from The Ref Stop. This initiative ensures that referees across the county have ongoing access to affordable, high-quality equipment they can trust.
Our partnership with Surrey FA goes far beyond products. We’ll continue working closely with Referee Development Officer Craig Hicks and Referee Support Officer Harry Yellen to deliver bespoke support tailored to the specific needs of referees within the region. This includes custom product bundles, tailored resources, and active involvement in referee development events throughout the season.
“We’re delighted to continue our relationship with The Ref Stop,” said Craig Hicks, Referee Development Officer at Surrey FA.
Harry Yellen, Referee Support Officer, added: “Their ongoing support plays a vital role in helping us equip and empower referees, ensuring they have the tools and confidence to perform at their best.”
Lyndsay Riding, Partnerships Manager at The Ref Stop, said:
“We’re proud to renew our partnership with Surrey FA and continue building on the strong relationship we’ve developed with Craig, Harry, and the wider team. Working closely with the County’s Referee Department gives us valuable insight into the needs of local referees, allowing us to offer tailored support that goes far beyond kit. Whether it’s through bespoke bundles, course resources, or simply helping referees feel seen and supported — we’re committed to making a meaningful difference. I’m excited to continue working together for another successful season.”
This renewal marks another exciting chapter in our partnership with Surrey FA, and we look forward to continuing our work together to create a positive and empowering environment for match officials throughout the county.
