Martin Hellier Yeovil Net Worth
Net worth: £15 million
When Martin Hellier agreed to a three-year sponsorship deal for the Main Stand at Huish Park in September 2022, few Yeovil Town fans could have anticipated the subsequent developments involving the local businessman.
Before this deal, Martin Hellier was not a name associated with the club, at least not in the author's (Dave here, hi!) knowledge. However, his Hellier Group business was well-known in the South Somerset community.
As gleaned from the business's website, it boasts "a diverse investment portfolio" and emphasizes an "unwavering focus on shrewd investment strategies, impeccable standards, and a shared work ethic." The reported valuation of the Hellier Group was £50 million at the time of the sponsorship agreement, a figure that has since risen to £75 million, with annual revenues of £15 million. In summary, it appears to be a robust business, according to this amateur accountant's assessment.

The Hellier Group owns various assets, including the Yeovil Court Hotel, the Fitness Yeovil gym building on the Lynx Trading Estate, and has been involved in the development of several properties converted into Air BnB lets in the town. Notably, a significant redevelopment project at the Yeovil Court Hotel on West Coker Road has been hard to miss.
Upon becoming the "Main Stand and Conference Centre Sponsor" less than a year ago, Martin Hellier expressed the group's commitment to supporting the local community and their excitement about being part of Yeovil Town Football Club's promising future. Director Stuart Robins added that Hellier Group was an ideal partner for the club as they sought to expand their business portfolio in the Yeovil area.
Since then, Martin Hellier's name has become well-known among Yeovil Town supporters due to his vocal presence on social media. He has shared his views on the club, its ownership, dealings with South Somerset District Council (now Somerset Council), and expressed personal opinions on supporters. Some describe this as "passion," others as "unprofessional," and for the author, it seems to be a bit of both. Consequently, Martin Hellier is a polarizing figure among supporters.
The next chapter awaits as supporters anticipate discovering what Martin Hellier, the football club chairman, is like compared to his social media persona.
