Spotlight On a Sponsor - Robbin Sports Equiptment

Local business Robbin Sports Equipment, part of Robbin Group, have teamed up with Bristol Ladies this season to provide high quality, affordable equipment to the club. James Marsh, Sports Accounts Manager, spoke to us about why they have decided to support the team and learn more about their organisation.

James, tell us a bit more about Robbin Sports Equipment:

We are a company set up and run by ex-sportsmen and women, and our aim is to make sure that all clubs get the equipment they need at an affordable rate, coupled with excellent customer service.

Being here at your facilities in Keynsham, it’s clear to see you are a company who love sport – where did this come from?

This arm of the business was set up by ex-Bath Rugby player Daniel Fox about 2.5 years ago, so the core values of rugby are central to what we do. Integrity and teamwork are key to the way we run our business. We support a lot of local schools and clubs across a variety of sports - hockey, football, athletics and rugby – and the fact our staff all have a rich history in sport means the passion and commitment is there in everything we do.

Why have you decided to sponsor Bristol Ladies this year?

We already work with a lot of men’s teams in the area, and wanted to branch out and start supporting the ladies. Bristol are the best in the area at the sport, the talent and skill on show is second to none in the South West and definitely a club we’d like to be associated with! Ladies rugby is one of the fastest growing sports in the UK – it’s going to be huge! Anything we can do to support local clubs and help them grow is a great opportunity for us.

So how are you supporting the girls this year?

We’ve been working closely with the management team to provide match day items, such as corner flags, post protectors, team shelters and pitch side barriers. We have also worked on an advisory level with the club – they know they can give us a call at any time for any advice or help with anything they need.
