GEW is proud to announce the elevation of its ongoing sponsorship of Haywards Heath Rugby Football Club (HHRFC), having recently become the official Main Sponsor of the West Sussex club. The sponsorship is for a minimum three year term and will run until at least June 2028.
GEW has been a strong supporter of HHRFC for the past three years, sponsoring the goal post protectors and corner flags. This new, extended partnership with the club will help raise the company’s profile via a true grassroots sports club. GEW will feature on the front of match shirts for the 1st XV, RAMs, Vets and new Women’s squads, plus Colts and gradually introduced for all youth age groups to ensure the sustainable transfer of shirts.
With over 500 HHRFC youth players, all existing shirts handed in during this season will go to young players in Uganda and other African nations via the Tag Rugby Trust – a charity that the Club has supported for a while. In return HHRFC youth players will receive a new match shirt for just £10.
Phil Herbert, HHRFC Commercial Director commented, “We look forward to working closely with GEW to promote the shared values of inclusivity, accessibility and sport for all. The new Clubhouse at Whitemans Green has been designed to be welcoming to everyone regardless of age and gender and the addition of three canopied padel courts has extended its appeal. GEW recognises and supports this commitment as the Club continues to work to raise funds to build a community gym that will further benefit the wider community, not just rugby players.”
Malcolm and Gillian Rae, co-owners of GEW added, “HHRFC offers a natural partnership opportunity for our business, making sure that as many people as possible have access to sport and social facilities. We are excited to help the Club achieve its ambitions on and off the pitch over the next three years.”
