St Jacques Vikings and Granite Le Pelley have announced a new multi-year partnership that will see the Guernsey-based stone masons and natural stone specialists become a primary partner of the club.
The Vikings have sought to grow their partner base as they tackle ‘Counties One Hampshire’ this season. Having achieved promotion at the end of last season, the opportunity to compete at level 7 in the English rugby pyramid has been hugely exciting for the club and their supporters, but this comes with additional pressures.
Granite Le Pelley’s support will help players give their all on the pitch and also ensure the club is in a healthier financial position to tackle this exciting challenge.
This new partnership sees Granite Le Pelley feature on the Vikings match kit, as well as on their warm-up and training kit.
St Jacques Sponsorship Director, James Mroch, commented on the importance of this new partnership: “We are incredibly grateful to Jack [Lunn] and Granite Le Pelley for choosing to support the Vikings. We have entered another exciting new era for the club, competing at our highest-ever level, and having a really strong group of players who are committed to continuing to develop and push the club forward. That coupled with the talent coming through the Guernsey Rugby Academy currently positions us in a great place.
“I have known Jack for a long time, having played rugby together at youth level, and to be able to work with such a strong rugby supporter who gets our vision is great. His support is hugely appreciated and it is going to help propel the club forward for the coming years, we are hugely excited about that. ”
Jack Lunn, Managing Director of Granite Le Pelley said on signing the new partnership: “As an avid rugby supporter, I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to get involved with a local club working its way up through the leagues. I have fond memories of playing rugby with James in my youth, so it’s great to see Granite Le Pelley supporting the team this year. I’m really looking forward to seeing the club’s continued success.”
