About employer

Since opening in Manchester in 2012, the museum has welcomed over 3 million visitors from across the globe with a simple mission: to share stories about football. The National Football Museum was developed in the 1990s and opened in Preston in 2001. Located at Preston North End’s Deepdale ground, it was home to a wide collection of football objects and archives, which has now become the Football Heritage Collection. Despite being popular with visitors and critics alike, funding challenges resulted in the museum closing to the public in 2010.
