Ravenheat deal makes “massive difference” to Morley

Aug. 30, 2011 - PRLog -- MORLEY RFC’s two year sponsorship deal with award-winning boiler manufacturer Ravenheat will make ‘a massive difference to the club’, says Chairman Wayne Dickinson.

At 35 Mr Dickinson is the youngest chairman in Morley’s 133-year history and he has big ambitions for the National League 3 North side. He has appointed former England international Scott Benton as head coach and former Saracens’ lock-forward Mark Burrow heads up the junior section.

“This deal gives us stability, not just for this year but for 2012-13 season. Now we have a buffer zone at the end of this season to kick start the following season. It’s the biggest sponsorship deal ever with Ravenheat,” said Mr Dickinson.

Morley-based Ravenheat has been the club’s main sponsor since 2004. The company, which manufactures a range of domestic gas boilers, is owned by Louis Pickersgill, who was born and bred in the town, and is proud to be associated with Morley and the club.

“I’ve been a supporter of Morley Rugby Club and its value to the community for many years; I am therefore pleased that Ravenheat Manufacturing will continue to be the main sponsor for the next 2 years. I think it’s a club with a great future and I hope this deal will help that development,” said Mr Pickersgill.

Morley RFC is very keen to develop the stars of the future and has contacted local schools to nurture talent. The sons of the chairman, the head coach and the junior coach all play at the club.

“We want to get the kids off the streets. We will preserve the old values but with an injection of youth to take the club forward. There is quite a buzz around the club at the moment – we are moving with the times,” said Mr Dickinson.

“Ravenheat is an international company but it is also community-minded. Louis understands the core values of a community organisation. He shares the new committee’s vision for the future,” he added.
