Patton Group ‘scores’ with continued sponsorship of Ballymena Rugby
Football Club
The Patton Group has confirmed it is to continue its role as principal
sponsor of Ballymena RFC.
The market-leading construction group will remain as major sponsors of
the Eaton Park-based All-Ireland League club for a further three years.
Patton Group Chairman, David Patton, whose links with the club stretch
back to 1951 when he joined as a player, said the sponsorship cemented
what has been a successful association between club and sponsor.
“It’s simply great that Neil and I, and indeed everyone within Patton
Group, are able to continue our support of Ballymena RFC. I have had
almost 60 years of enjoyment and fun with this great club. This is not
just important to us as a business, but also from a family point of
view.
“We are glad to be in the position to give something back to the club.”
Patton Group Managing Director, Neil Patton who has also played for
Ballymena, said: “Rugby has helped in the past, opening doors for us to
grow our business. So, even in these challenging days from a business
perspective, sponsorships like this make sense for commercial
organisations and sporting clubs alike.”
David Allen, Chairman of Ballymena RFC continues; “We are well aware
that the professional game is well established and well supported. This
makes it even more important that we have the backing of businesses in
the community, willing to support the Club. We are delighted the Patton
Group and all of our other valuable sponsors have continued to support
the club.”
