Shearings renews Wigan Warriors agreement
Shearings has renewed its partnership with Wigan Warriors Rugby League Club for 2019.
It follows a successful first year, which saw Shearings branding on the back of the players shirts, around the ground at the DW Stadium and the development of an ongoing relationship between the two parties.
This year has seen the team and its management engage with Shearing staff, through visits to the office in Wigan and other activities such as the operator’s ‘Summer Spectacular’ staff event, held at the Wigan Warriors ground and attended by over 100 staff.
The renewed partnership will see the Shearings.com branding move up onto the shoulders on the back of the teams playing shirt and appointed the club’s official travel partner.
It will also see even more staff and fan interaction, community engagement and collaborations between the organisations.
Shearings Holidays managing director Jane Atkins said: "The players and management team have been really supportive and engaged with the staff at our Wigan head office through regular visits and events we’ve held.
"Many of our staff are big fans of Wigan Warriors and being able to have some of the players visit the business and talk to our teams has been amazing. We look forward to developing the relationship further in 2019."
