Summary
Description
I live in the UK and play club hockey for Brentwood Hockey Club, County hockey for Essex, regional hockey for the East of England and International Masters Hockey for England over 45s.
I am looking for a sponsor to help fund me throughout 2025 as part of the England Masters Hockey Over 45 squad, competing in the Home Nations Championship in Cork (9th May to 11th May) and the European Championships in Valencia (23rd May to 1st June).
England Masters hockey is completely self-funded, so to compete I need to raise around £2,500 to cover travel, accommodation, coaching and medical staff and kit. I am therefore looking for sponsorship to cover some of these costs.
What I can do for your company is:
I can have your logo printed on the shirts that I wear at club, County and Regional level (audience figures below).
You will be a named sponsor on my Instagram and Twitter bios, where I regularly post content and have followers from various countries. I will regularly thank you for your support in all my hockey related posts on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
Wherever the opportunity arises I will include you as a named sponsor on any England Masters Hockey posts or profiles.
Our preferred sponsor
I will consider any potential sponsors.
Greatest successes
In 2023 I was part of the England Masters team that won the Home Nations Championship and were runners up in the European Championships.
In 2024 I was part of the England Masters team that won the Home Nations Championship and competed at the World Cup in New Zealand.
Key figures for sponsors

While I cannot print your logo on my international shirts, I will continue to advertise and promote your product/company when on international duty.
Social media exposure:
You will be a named sponsor on my Instagram and Twitter bios, where I regularly post content and have followers from various countries. I will regularly thank you for your support in all my hockey related posts.

World Masters Hockey has grown exponentially in recent years and there is a thriving global community. This is an opportunity to advertise your brand in and around the UK, as well as internationally to an audience that you may not otherwise have considered and at the same time help me to fulfil my international hockey ambitions.
