At Andersons, we believe that supporting the communities we work in is just as important as providing the services our customers rely on.
That is why we are delighted to announce our sponsorship of the Dursley Ladies Rugby Team, marking an exciting opportunity to give something back to the area we are proud to serve.
As a business providing Dursley with regular septic tank emptying and treatment plant servicing, alongside a range of commercial services, Andersons has strong connections with the community.
Our work takes us across the area, supporting homeowners, businesses and organisations, and we are keen to make a positive contribution beyond the services we provide.
Supporting Local Sport and Bringing Communities Together
The decision to sponsor the Dursley Ladies RFC comes from a genuine desire to help the local area thrive. By investing in a club that brings people together, we hope to support not only the players themselves but also the wider network of people and organisations that benefit from having a thriving sporting community on their doorstep.
The rugby club provides a valuable space for other local groups to come together, too, including a running club and the local cricket team. This means our sponsorship has the potential to benefit more than one team, helping to support a wider range of activities and encourage people of all ages and interests to get involved in their local community.
Michael Bennett, Group Commercial Director at Andersons, explained why supporting the club was important to the business:
“We wanted to give something back to the local community and support the people and organisations that help make this area such a great place to live and work. I live locally myself, so I understand how important it is to see the town, as well as the neighbouring villages and towns, continue to do well.
“Although our sponsorship is focused on the Dursley Ladies RFC, we recognise that the club is about much more than rugby. It provides a place for different groups to meet, take part in activities and build connections. We are pleased that our investment can help support the wider club and the community around it.”
Investing in the Area We Call Home
For Andersons, this sponsorship is about more than having our name displayed at a local sports club. It is an opportunity to build stronger relationships with the communities we serve and demonstrate our commitment to helping the area prosper.
We also want to make sure that our support is visible to people across the wider region. While the club is an important part of the local town, our services extend into the surrounding villages and towns, where we have built relationships with residential and commercial customers alike.
As part of our commitment, we are keen to connect with communities in Berkeley, Wotton-under-Edge, Tortworth, Stroud, Stonehouse, Frampton on Severn and Tetbury, as well as the surrounding locations.
By combining our investment in local sport with our ongoing work across the region, we hope to strengthen our presence while making a meaningful contribution to the places where we live and work.
Looking Forward to a Positive Partnership
We are excited to see what the coming months bring for Dursley Ladies RFC and the wider club. Local sports organisations play an important role in creating opportunities, encouraging participation and bringing people together, and we are proud to play a part in helping them continue their work.
At Andersons, we know that strong communities are built through people and businesses working together. Our sponsorship is one small way we can contribute to that, and we look forward to supporting the team as they continue their journey.
