Proud Sponsors of the England Hockey Awards 2023
We were delighted to be the official sponsor of the highly anticipated England Hockey Awards this year, held on 1st July 2023 at the Athena in Leicester.
The event celebrated the exceptional achievements of athletes, coaches, officials, and volunteers in the hockey community. As the headline sponsor, we demonstrated our commitment to supporting the growth and development of hockey in England.
Our Managing Director, Duncan Bennett said, "We are proud to be sponsoring this year's England Hockey Awards, in our 10th year of working alongside England and Great Britain Hockey. Whether they work with us or not, we know and appreciate that the Clubs are the heartbeat of this fantastic sport. So we are hugely proud, as of 2023, to be the lead sponsors of the England Hockey Club Awards this evening.
Without the support and hard work of the members, players and volunteers at Clubs nationwide, most of the delivered pitch projects wouldn't happen."
Among the awards presented during the evening was the highly prestigious Club of the Year. We are proud to sponsor this category, with the accolade awarded to Guildford Hockey Club. This award recognised the clubs outstanding achievements, sustainability, and commitment to promoting hockey at the grassroots level.
Guildford Hockey Club has demonstrated exceptional dedication to the development of the sport within its community. Through their innovative coaching programs, inclusive initiatives, and emphasis on player welfare, they have fostered a vibrant and thriving hockey culture that inspires and nurtures talent.
We would like to congratulate Guildford Hockey Club for their remarkable accomplishments and for exemplifying club management and community engagement excellence. Their dedication and commitment to the sport have significantly impacted the growth and success of hockey.
Our partnership with England Hockey reaffirms our commitment to supporting the sport's advancement and recognising the efforts of those who make it thrive. By providing high-quality playing surfaces and investing in the development of hockey clubs, we aim to create optimal conditions for players to excel and enjoy the sport.
