VIKINGS WOMEN TO HAVE INDIVIDUAL KIT SPONSORS FOR THE FIRST TIME

Widnes Vikings are pleased to confirm that, for the first time, our women’s team has its own kit sponsors for the 2024 season.

This just highlights the development and progress of our Vikings women’s side both on and off the pitch.

Our women’s team sponsors for 2024 are DCBL, Airbourne Environmental Consultants (AEC), PEG Services, GSB Signs, Cheshire Fire & Rescue, and Landscape World.

DCBL features as the principal sponsor of our women’s team as they do for our men’s, wheelchair, and LDRL teams this season.

Darren Connor, Managing Director at DCBL said: “DCBL is proud to be the principal kit sponsor for the Widnes Vikings Women’s team for the upcoming season, embracing the rich history and promising future of the club.

“By sponsoring not only the men’s team but also the women’s rugby league team, along with the wheelchair and learning disability team, we champion equality and inclusivity in sports. Our commitment to the community extends beyond the field, as we strive to create opportunities and support local talent.

“We hope this deal is only the start of things to come and there are further opportunities to show our long-term commitment to the local community and this great club, working alongside Chris and his team.

“A number of colleagues at DCBL proudly follow the women’s team and are excited to continue supporting them on and off the pitch in what we all hope will be an enjoyable and successful season!”

Nathan Nichols, Sales Consultant at GSB Signs commented:

“We are really thankful to Widnes Vikings for the offer to sponsor the women’s team for 2024.

“The chance to show our support to both our local team as well as the ever-growing women’s game is an opportunity that we couldn’t turn down.

“Best of luck to the ladies for 2024, GSB Signs are behind you all the way!’

Ian Pugh from Cheshire Fire & Rescue said: “Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service is delighted to be a kit sponsor for the Widnes Vikings Women’s Team and the LDRL Team for the 2024 season. In line with our vision and mission,  our connection with the Club will help us in promoting a  safer Cheshire and changing lives in our community.

“The Club’s profile and far-reaching connections will support our prevention activity to keep the community safe. This activity includes helping to reduce the chance of fires happening in the first place and delivering road safety campaigns to reduce the number of road traffic collisions.

“We also hope that our association with the women’s team will demonstrate our commitment to positive action, encouraging women and members of minority ethnic and LGBT+ communities to apply to become firefighters.”

Cheshire Fire & Rescue Service will also feature as a sponsor on our Wheelchair team kits for 2024.

VIKINGS WELCOME PLAYER AND KIT SPONSORS

Last week the Vikings also welcomed some of our women’s kit and player sponsors to the DCBL Stadium for a photo opportunity with team manager Catherine Wills.

On the day we welcomed representatives of GSB Signs (Kit Sponsor), Monster Lab (Player Sponsor – Molly Rose), and Manchester Private Hospital (Player Sponsor – Chloe Richardson).

It was fantastic to welcome them to the Stadium as we are committed to ensuring they get valuable opportunities in connection with the club.
