Shields & Rutland, the Guernsey based estate agent and property management specialist has agreed to sponsor St Jacques Vikings rugby club for the next three years.
The new agreement will see Shields & Rutland as one of the primary sponsors of the Vikings and their support comes at a significant time in the development of the club. Over the next three years, the local rugby club is seeking to climb the English rugby ladder, following their reintroduction to the main leagues this season.
A significant aim of the Vikings is young player development, and with the support from Shields & Rutland this will help the club continue to provide young players with a structured development pathway.
Tim Roberts, Managing Director of Shields & Rutland said: “It is a pleasure to support such a focused and motivated club at this exciting time. Having met James and some of the players, it quickly became apparent the effort they are putting in to ensure continued progress in the sport. As a company we see parallels in their hard work and dedication to their craft. We take great pride in supporting local sport and look forward to seeing the team’s achievements on the pitch.”
James Mroch, St Jacques Vikings Commercial & Sponsorship Manager added: ‘We are overjoyed that Tim and the team at Shields & Rutland have decided to partner with the Vikings. Their support is going to be instrumental in helping us achieve our goals over the next few seasons, and I hope we can repay their faith in the club with our performances out on the pitch.’
