Croquet England Secures Three-Year Sponsorship Deal with Ambassador Cruise Line
Croquet England is delighted to announce a landmark three-year sponsorship agreement with Ambassador Cruise Line, the UK’s leading affordable quality, no-fly cruise line.
Ambassador is proud to support sports and communities across the UK, and this collaboration showcases the cruise line’s commitment to supporting croquet at all levels in England to enhance the experience for fans and participants while raising the profile of Croquet England and introducing the sport to a wider audience.
The Partnership will see Ambassador provide exclusive offers on its wide range of cruise itineraries to Croquet England members and supporters alongside fan engagement experiences and brand and marketing exposure opportunities with two Croquet England teams each year. These include Croquet England v Croquet Ireland 20-21 July 2024 and Croquet England v Croquet Scotland 31 August – 1 September 2024.
Ambassador branding will feature on the official kits of the teams during these matches.
Paul Hetherington, Marketing Director, Croquet England, commented on the new sponsorship deal: “We are thrilled to welcome Ambassador Cruise Line as our Partner. This represents a significant step forward for Croquet England, and we look forward to working closely with Ambassador over the next three years to further promote and develop the sport in England. Their support will be instrumental as we inspire the next generation of croquet players and bring exciting opportunities to our members and fans.
“Furthermore, cruising is an attractive option for the croquet population, offering a blend of relaxation, adventure and camaraderie that complements the spirit of the sport. Through this collaboration, both ourselves and Ambassador aim to create unforgettable experiences for croquet players and cruise enthusiasts alike.”
Ambassador Cruise Line sees a natural synergy with the croquet community, and Gordon Nardini, Chief Marketing Officer at Ambassador Cruise Line, expressed his enthusiasm for the new Partnership: “The team at Ambassador Cruise Line is incredibly proud to embark on this new Partnership with Croquet England. Croquet is a fantastic sport that appeals to a broad demographic, particularly those who enjoy active and social pastimes.
“Through our Partnership, we’re thrilled to be working with Croquet England to offer exclusive offers and discounts to the organisation’s members and fans. Here’s looking forward to welcoming all-comers on board for the ‘warmest welcome at sea’ in the months and years to come.”
