Henley Rugby Club is delighted to announce a new partnership with Vertu Mercedes-Benz Reading, strengthening support for grassroots sport in the Thames Valley.
The agreement takes effect immediately and marks a closer relationship between the retailer and the community rugby club, which supports player development across all age groups.
As part of the partnership, Vertu branding will appear across senior and junior playing kits from next season, including on the back of Henley Hawks shirts and across the Minis and Juniors teams.
The branding will also feature on coaching kit and warm-up shirts.
Nigel Dudding, president of Henley Hawks, said: “This support comes at a meaningful time for the club. Grassroots rugby only thrives when local businesses choose to stand alongside it.
“The work we do with hundreds of youngsters each season depends on strong community partnerships, and it’s clear Vertu recognises the value of investing in people at every stage of the game.
“Its involvement helps us continue offering an environment where players can grow, compete and enjoy their rugby.”
Robert Forrester, chief executive at Vertu, said: “Clubs like Henley Hawks are woven into the fabric of their local communities.
“They teach commitment, teamwork and resilience – qualities that matter far beyond sport.
“Supporting the Hawks is a positive step for our Mercedes-Benz team in Reading, and we’re pleased to play a small part in helping the club continue its excellent work at grassroots level.”
