Mansfield-based industrial supplies firm Hall-Fast has extended its sponsorship deal with Paviors Rugby Club until 2027.

Hall-Fast will sponsor several events and be the main first-team shirt sponsor and a junior team sponsor.

Hall-Fast founder and managing director Malcolm Hall said: “My family and I have been involved with Paviors for a few years and I like the way that the club goes about things.

“There is a huge focus on the nurturing and development of players from within. That is what a family-orientated community club should be all about.

“I am proud to be associated with them and I am looking forward to seeing my two young lads develop and grow as they move up through the age groups.”

It is the latest in a series of long-term sponsorship deals that Hall-Fast has committed to support community-related rugby.

Its work with Greene King IPA Championship side Nottingham Rugby has seen tens of thousands of youngsters in and around Mansfield and North Nottinghamshire benefit from coaching within mainstream and the Fountaindale SEN School over the last five years.
