500 Club Testimonials
A WORD FROM...
Kingsley Jones, Director of Rugby
Having a strong contingent of businesses backing the players is vital to our success. Your financial support helps to fund our squad and enables us to put together a team capable of competing at the top level of the Guinness Premiership and Heineken Cup, which has a direct impact towards our success on the pitch. As coaches, we also appreciate the emotional commitment that our members make to the club, and we enjoy attending the 500club events and getting to know you and our other members, talking business, rugby and having some fun as well.
Steve Hanley
, Director of 500Club The 500Club is the ideal way of mixing business with pleasure. What better way to enhance your business than mixing it with some top quality Friday night rugby? On top of this, the five networking events gives different businesses exciting chances to mix shoulder to shoulder with the first team squad and share your views. It’s been a pleasure over the past year to be involved with so many top quality NW businesses and im looking forward to this continuing.
