Greenall’s Gin has signed a multi-year brand partnership deal with Bath Rugby, as it aims to highlight the team work and handcrafted skill involved in making the award-winning original London Dry Gin.
The new partnership unites two icons in their respective fields, renowned for their longstanding heritage and commitment to consistent excellence, achieved through their shared values of teamwork and skill.
Greenall’s Gin presence will be evident throughout the Rec, the home of Bath Rugby; as the official gin partner, Greenall’s will be served across all bars with its Original London Dry Gin, best-selling Wild Berry Gin, Sloe Gin and recently relaunched ready-to-drink range all on offer. Further visibility will be assured through point of sale materials and extensive branding throughout the grounds.
Greenall’s – which earlier this year launched a new global marketing platform, ‘Made Hand 2 Hand’ – will also team up with the Bath Rugby Foundation – a charity which works with the community in Bath and surrounding areas to enhance the lives of young people through sport – with 5p for every serve of Greenall’s purchased at the Rec going to the charity. Supporters will learn of their contribution to the charity on specially-designed cups which will outline the partnership and donation for the duration of the deal.
Russell Kirkham, UK Marketing Director at Quintessential Brands said: “We’re delighted to be bringing Greenall’s together with Bath Rugby to celebrate our shared values of teamwork and handcrafted skill. We share a commitment to achieving consistent excellence – for Bath Rugby, that’s working together on the field to win every match, and for Greenall’s, it’s our distilling team working hand in hand to ensure the outstanding quality for which Greenall’s Gin is renowned is evident in every bottle. We’re looking forward to working hand in hand with Bath Rugby in the years ahead and providing their supporters and visiting supporters with quality gin experiences to match the quality displays provided by the Bath Rugby team on the pitch.”
“We also hope to bring more in the way of donations to the Bath Rugby Foundation through our activity and look forward to supporting the charity and the important works it does in the local area into 2019 and beyond.”
Ben Wells, Chief Commercial Officer at Bath Rugby commented: “We are delighted to join forces with Greenall’s. There is a natural affinity between the two parties when it comes to heritage. The combination of rich history and an award-winning range of offerings provides a solid foundation to build a long-lasting relationship. We are pleased to offer rugby supporters the chance to experience this quality first-hand.”
The partnership will be supported by PR and social media campaigns throughout the partnership and extends to the On Trade and the Off Trade, with a focus on outlets close to Bath Rugby, in the coming months.
Owned by Quintessential Brands Group, winner of the International Spirits Challenge Gin Distiller of the year 2018, Greenall’s is made at G&J Distillers in Warrington, the world’s oldest continuous gin distillery. Greenall’s ‘Made Hand 2 Hand’ global campaign celebrates Greenall’s legacy and status as The Original Handcrafted British Gin and highlights the techniques and processes that go into creating one of the top-selling London Dry Gins.
Made in Chelsea’s Lonan O’Herlihy
shares his ultimate home HIIT workout
Learn the secrets of the PT’s workout regime
Lonan O’Herlihy, @theposhpt and Made in Chelsea star, combines his favourite moves into a workout that can be done anywhere, anytime
The innovative workout shows how any household object can be used as a weight, O’Herlihy’s training session features Sony’s newest wireless speaker – the SRS-XB501G – to help his followers work up a sweat whilst listening to the bassy beats
Workout includes toe taps, one-arm push-ups and Russian twists
For a workout in the comfort of your own home, Lonan O’Herlihy has unveiled his latest HIIT workout using household items as handy equipment including Sony’s new speaker as a portable weight. With its combination of bassy sound and portability, it compliments his workout blend of speed, endurance and strength.
The 20-minute workout will get any pulse racing. To try the workout,
The high-intensity session includes eight high-octane exercises, which can be tailored in length of time and weight to work up a sweat:
One arm push-ups
Knee push-ups
One arm kettlebell swings
Squat with shoulder press
In-and-out squat jumps
Rear raised leg lunges
Russian Twists
Toe taps
The workout makes full use of the product’s key features, including; handle for easy use, EXTRA BASS™ sounds and line lights to bring the beat to life and keep the pace going, durability which means he can incorporate it into any exercise, splash proof capabilities and the Google Assistant feature which allows him to switch up the playlist with his voice – leaving him to continue the workout.
Lonan O’Herlihy comments: “The beauty of a HIIT workout is that it doesn’t take up too much time, and you can do it with minimal equipment. I wanted to provide a workout that really focused on both of these aspects. Using Sony’s XB501G portable speaker was a great way to showcase how easy it is to use items in your home as weights, rather than having to buy something specifically for a workout.”
Lonan’s tips for an effective HIIT workout:
Keep your HIIT to a maximum of 30-minutes, after that you’ll start to lose your form leaving you prone to injury.
Pick the right kit for you – the joys of HIIT are that you can work out your intensity, so don’t worry about investing in all the kit right away.
Always warm up and cool down for at least five minutes before and after your HIIT workouts. It’s important to not just stop after HIIT as that can leave you feeling lightheaded, so cool down gently afterwards.
Keep the intensity high throughout – Music is a great way to keep your energy levels up and give you a beat to work to, pick bassy music for the best results and turn it up!
Make it fun! The Sony XB501G speaker also has line lights which flash in time with the music, making it even easier, and more fun, to stick to the beat and work through your session.
The SRS-XB501G portable party speaker comes in black or blue, is priced at approximately £300 and is available now.
