As revealed two weeks ago, Rovers will wear the logo of South West Electrical on the front of their shirts next season, but they have now been able to confirm JMJ Fabrications Ltd as the main shirt sponsor for their Hellenic League Division Two squad, with JMJ’s Director, Jamie Gibbons, extending a long-standing association to the club through his backing of the Development Squad.

“We have a great relationship with Tuffley Rovers, who are literally very close to us, as they are on the doorstep of our own business” Gibbons confirmed. “Having worked with the club over the past 7 years we were keen to continue our support and sponsoring the Development Squad was an easy decision for us to make.”

The logos for each company will form part of the new shirt design for the 2021/22 season, sitting alongside the logo of local charity, Heart Heroes, who the club have adopted as their charity for the last 12 months and will continue to work with in the next season. The charity’s logo will adorn one sleeve, alongside the new already confirmed that the change kit for all adult teams will be a green and pink design based around the Heart Heroes colours.

Kelly Cornish, the founder of Heart Heroes, was delighted with the club’s decision to include the charity as part of the kit design.

“Heart Heroes is very honoured and excited to see Tuffley Rovers new sponsors on the new shirt, but also delighted with the sleeve design showing our own logo. We cannot thank Tuffley Rovers enough for their support and our heart heroes are looking forward to being able to wear the kit themselves.”

With all the sponsors now confirmed, the design of the new AthElite Sports branded kit is now complete for both Hellenic League sides in 2021/22.

“We’re delighted to have sorted some really good sponsorship deals out so early”, Club Secretary, Neil Spiller, confirmed. “JMJ and Ruroc are returning sponsors, so we’re incredibly grateful for their continued support, which is invaluable to the club. Adding D&G Contracting and South West Electrical to the Rovers family means that we’ve not only been able to increase sponsorship revenue, but also form new relationships which we hope can be beneficial to all parties.”

“We’ve had such a positive response to the new kit designs and, if I say so myself, the company logos all just seem to blend in perfectly”, he added. “Including the Heart Heroes logo on the shirts was simply the perfect way to complete the design we intend to use next season.”

 

New sponsor from link to Rovers past

Having recently launched their new kit designs and range of merchandise, in association with AthElite Sports (https://www.athelitesports.co.uk/tuffley-rovers-fc), Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division side, Tuffley Rovers, can now confirm their first team kit sponsor for the 2021/22 playing season as South West Electrical.

The deal with the new sponsor has come about through a long-term connection with the joint owner of South West Electrical, Shayne Anson (now of Cirencester Town), a former Assistant Manager of the club’s Premier Division side and someone who also played for the club’s U18s side previously.

Anson and his business partner, Liam Lusty, started their business earlier this year and they specialise in domestic and commercial installations and see teaming up with Rovers as a fantastic opportunity to both gain a little more exposure of their company, but also make a contribution to a club in their local area.

“We are delighted to be teaming up with Tuffley Rovers”, Anson confirmed.

“We are both local lads and we also have a lot of friends who are involved in the club, both as players and in other roles. We saw this as an opportunity to team up with a friendly club that we feel close to”, he added. “We are both extremely excited to be part of the bigger project at Tuffley Rovers.”

Rovers’ Chairman, Dan Boon, is delighted to have secured this sponsorship, as part of a wider sponsorship push that is beginning to reap rewards.

“Obviously, knowing Shayne, in particular, makes this deal a little more special for us and we are delighted to have agreed a sponsorship package that should be good for both parties”, he confirmed. “From the moment we started discussions the relationship has been really positive, with both Shayne and Liam giving us a sense that they really want to support the growth and development of the club, alongside the excellent start they’ve had to the launch of their business.”

With the deal agreed, Rovers will now wear the South West Electrical logo on their three shirt designs for the next season, with the new AthElite Sports designs already attracting a great deal of positive feedback.
