Powergen to Sponsor Rugby League Match Officials
Powergen today announced that they are to sponsor all rugby league Match Officials for the next year in a deal worth £100,000 with an option for a further year.
The agreement will see the Powergen logo on Match Officials’ shirts for all RFL events, including the Powergen Challenge Cup, Tetley’s Super League, Northern Ford Premiership and Great Britain Test Matches as well as the Origin Series.
This sponsorship is in addition to Powergen’s current Challenge Cup sponsorship, which they acquired following the company’s purchase of TXU Energi in October 2002.
Paul Parmenter, Sales and Marketing Director, Powergen, commented, 'We are very excited about our involvement in so many areas of rugby league and the support for the Match Officials further demonstrates our commitment beyond the three year sponsorship of the Powergen Challenge Cup.'
Chris Green, Marketing Director, RFL remarked, 'We are delighted with the working relationship we currently have with Powergen. It is key for the game of rugby league that our partners actively support their sponsorships and this is certainly the case with Powergen.'
