GO POWER RENEWS TWO-YEAR
SPONSORSHIP CONTRACT WITH
ULSTER RUGBY
One of the leading electricity and gas suppliers to businesses in Northern
Ireland, Go Power, has renewed its commitment to Ulster Rugby by signing a
new two-year sponsorship contract.
The agreement will see Go Power continue
as a jersey sponsor with the company logo
featured prominently on the back of the Ulster
shirt. Branding will be visible around Kingspan
Stadium and rugby fans will benefit from a
series of competitions organised by Go Power
throughout the season.
Go Power, which is part of the LCC Group, has
experienced rapid growth since launching into
the Northern Ireland commercial market in April
2012. The company holds a 35 per cent share
of the overall Industrial and Commercial market
in Northern Ireland and works with several key
clients including NI Water, NI Local Government
and Councils and other key Ulster Rugby
Sponsors that include BT, Danske Bank, Moy
Park and Dale Farm.
Go Power also exclusively supplies Ulster
Rugby's Kingspan Stadium with both electricity
and natural gas.
The LCC Group is an independent family
owned company, established in 1980 which
provides a range of services spanning various
energy sectors. Initially set up to provide
domestic coal and oil to homes in Northern
Ireland, the Group now supplies coal, oil,
electricity, gas and logistic services across all
key sectors of the Energy Industry, locally and
worldwide.
Laura Loughran, Go Power, said: "Our
relationship with Ulster Rugby has been
fantastic over the last two years and we are
looking forward to continuing to support the
team with our new sponsorship agreement. As
a local company, we want to get behind the
team as they aim for success in the Guinness
PRO14 and European Champions Cup this
year.
"Through our ongoing sponsorship and
commitment to the team, we have experienced
a noticeable increase in the brand awareness
of Go Power and this has helped to spur on
our fast growth in the marketplace. We are now
working with 15,000 businesses in Northern
Ireland, supplying electricity and natural gas.”
Fiona Hampton, Head of Sales & Marketing
at Ulster Rugby, added: "We are delighted to
extend our relationship with Go Power for the
next two years. Like ourselves, Go Power are
committed to driving world class standards
while maintaining strong roots within our local
community. As a valued sponsor of Ulster
Rugby, we are pleased that the association with
the club has enhanced the company's profile
within their industry, and we look forward to
continuing a fruitful working relationship over
the next couple of years.”
