Working with us
Our innovative sponsorship and partnership programme has been devised to develop key strategic relationships with companies over the medium to longer term and to involve them where appropriate in club decisions.
As well as sponsors, we have a tradition of ‘partners‘ to reduce day-to-day running costs of the Club providing items, expertise and assets as opposed to cash e.g. supplying food and refreshments for home games.
Hockey is a sport where players come equally from both genders and is played by all ages (2,500 schools are registered with English Hockey) and higher than average income socio-economic groups. Most clubs are closely integrated into the community and schools and often have affiliated cricket and rugby clubs sharing facilities.
It is therefore an ideal opportunity for cost-effective exposure to local and regional consumers and businesses, for anyone that has an interest in sport. In addition, we offer: -
- Use of clubs facilities for events and functions
- Use of key players for promotional work
- Complimentary tickets to any major hockey event at which the club is represented
- The opportunity to market products and services to the club’s membership and at hockey events
