Shirt Sponsor Ends Gloucester Deal
Gloucester rugby club has parted company with Jewson, the company that has sponsored the club since 2007. The sponsorship was one of the longest running in the club’s sponsorship history with the firm’s logo appearing on the shirt throughout that period.
During the sponsorship, the sustainable timber and building materials supplier began the Jewson Crossbar Challenge and Jewson Match Day Camps.
Stephen Vaughan, Gloucester’s managing director, commented: ‘Jewson have been fantastic partners for us here at Gloucester Rugby over the past six seasons. They’ve been terrific to work with, and played a big role in the club’s development in recent times. Although it’s sad that they will no longer be our main sponsor from next season, we’re parting on good terms and wish them every success in the future.’
Vaughan continued: ‘Gloucester Rugby is one of the most famous clubs in rugby union, and we’re in a strong position on and off the field. Nigel Davies and the squad are delivering a strong season on the pitch, and I’m delighted to report that things are looking good for the club commercially as well. We are about to unveil financials which show that we have increased our profit year on year, and we’re one of only three Aviva Premiership clubs whose attendances have risen this season.’
The managing director added: ‘We are also still in the running to host fixtures in Rugby World Cup 2015, the only rugby union club ground on the long list, and have successfully hosted a number of international fixtures here at Kingsholm in recent times. The future here at Gloucester Rugby is very bright indeed.’
