Grant UK welcomed Tom Dunn, England International and Bath Rugby player, and Tom Giles, head of business development at Bath Rugby, from the rugby club to its Head Offices, in Swindon.
The pair held an informal question and answer session which gave members of the Grant Team the opportunity to learn more about Dunn’s professional career as well as the wider community project work the Club carries out in the local area.
“We were delighted to welcome Tom Dunn and Tom Giles to our offices here in Swindon,” commented Anna Wakefield, head of internal sales and marketing at Grant UK.
“We have been a sponsor of Bath Rugby since 2015 and our long-standing partnership has developed over the years with many of our employees being loyal supporters of the Club. It was great to learn more about the Club’s Grassroots programmes which support players, such as Tom Dunn, develop from academy players into first team professionals and also carries out excellent work in the wider local community, something Grant UK is proud to support as its Official Grassroots Partner.”
Giles also spoke to staff about the Grassroots Community Programme that Bath Rugby is delivering to local schoolchildren with the support of Grant UK who are the Official Grassroots Partner of the Club.
Together, both Bath Rugby and Grant UK are visiting local primary schools to deliver its “Kick the Carbon” initiative, hosting a series of classroom-based and rugby-based activities to educate children about sustainability.
The first of the school visits commenced earlier in January and will be running until early Spring with 10 local schools taking part in the programme.
