Rotec and Somerset County Cricket Club’s Partnership set to Continue

Rotec Hydraulics Ltd are happy to announce that their long-standing partnership with Somerset County Cricket Club (SCCC) will continue for at least another 12 months.

The two organisations can reveal that an extension to the existing sponsorship agreement has been signed, which will see Rotec continue as the Club’s Principal Royal London Cup Partner.

Investing in and supporting the local community is a keystone is Rotec’s ethos. The company, who recently sponsored the Bristol Children’s Hospital’s Grand Appeal charity, are delighted to have extended their contract at SCCC and support the club which is within walking distance of their head office and largest service centre in Taunton, Somerset.

The deal will once again see Rotec branding appear on the front of Somerset’s Royal London Cup matchday shirt, whilst their company logo will continue to feature prominently on the pitch covers at the Cooper Associates County Ground.

Following the extension of the partnership, Somerset CCC’s Commercial Director, Caroline Herbert said:

“We are delighted to be working with Rotec again in 2022. Their name is synonymous with our 2019 Royal London Cup triumph at Lord’s in 2019 and we are hopeful that further success is on the horizon.

 

“Last year’s Royal London Cup saw a fresh new wave of talent make a name for themselves and this exciting and dynamic side reflects the nature of our relationship with Rotec.

 

“We have developed an outstanding working relationship with Paul Prouse and his team over the last few years, and we thank them for their continued support of the Club.”

Established in 1979 as a supplier of hydraulic hoses and couplings, Rotec Hydraulics has gone from strength to strength. The company is now one of the leading specialist providers of hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical mechanical products and engineering services to all industry sectors throughout the UK and internationally.

Paul Prouse, Rotec Managing Director said:

“We are thrilled to be continuing our strong relationship with SCCC. Our head office is based within walking distance of the Cooper Associates County Ground and as loyal followers, we relish supporting the Club.

 

“Our business has seen real benefits over the years from our close working partnership, including the use of the Club’s fantastic facilities throughout the year and coverage we gain from the Royal London Cup.

 

“On the pitch we have an exciting and enthusiastic team whom we believe will do a brilliant job for the County this season and hopefully reward those on and off the pitch with the trophies they justly deserve.”

Rotec Hydraulics Ltd supports The Grand Appeal’s campaign to bring Christmas joy to critically ill children

One thing no-one has on their Santa wish list is spending Christmas in hospital. Unfortunately, the reality is that many children and families will have to spend time away from home, to receive vital care.

Rotec Hydraulics Ltd is proud to announce we will be supporting Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Appeal, the official Bristol Children’s Hospital Charity, this Festive season.

We have donated towards the charity’s Christmas ‘Shine Bright’ campaign, which will light up the iconic Bristol Children’s Hospital building throughout December. By donating, we hope to spread festive cheer in the community, whilst raising funds that will benefit sick children and their families. 

Rotec is supporting the largest of the light displays- a festive Gromit, which will be projected onto the side of the hospital throughout the Christmas period.

A number of other organisations across the South West are also supporting the campaign with donations supporting projections of stars which will sparkle across the remainder of the building. Together raising the spirits of the young patients who have to spend this very special time, in hospital.

Rotec’s Managing Director, Paul Prouse comments,

“It has been a pleasure to support Bristol Children’s Hospital’s charity for 8 years now. The hospital team go over and above to support and care for children and their families every year. They have shown remarkable dedication particularly throughout the pandemic, providing life-saving treatment and support to children and families across the South West and even nationally. We are proud to be supporting this worthwhile cause once again in 2021.”

Bristol Children’s Hospital cares for over 100,000 babies, children and young adults from across the South West annually and supports patients with rare genetic disorders, neurological conditions, congenital heart disease, traumatic injuries, cancer and kidney disease. Everyone can get involved with the campaign by spreading cheer in their community and decorating their house, window or garden. For more information about the ‘Shine Bright’ campaign, including how to get involved visit grandappeal.org.uk/shine-bright or you can donate here grandappeal.org.uk/christmas-appeal.

Every penny raised will help children in hospital get the care they deserve and families the support they need.

Celebrating the 2021 Cricket season at Player Sponsor Event

As proud sponsors of Somerset County Cricket Club, we enjoyed a fantastic evening last week at the annual Player Sponsor Event.

This year’s season was packed with incredible moments to remember for all SCCC supporters. Here are some of Rotec’s favourites:

Welcome Sonny Baker

The young Somerset paceman, Sonny Baker, made his debut for the SCCC at the Royal London Cup win over Derbyshire at home in July. It was an outstanding opening spell and by the end of the summer the 18-year-old had 10 wickets in the competition, had signed his first professional contract and was joining up with the England U19s.

Incredible Derby win

Somerset’s first T20 win in Bristol since 2015 saw Lewis Gregory claim career best figures of five for 24 as the hosts were restricted to 161 for seven from their 20 overs. From that point onwards, it was the Devon Conway show. The New Zealand international opened the Somerset reply and helped himself to 81 not out from just 65 balls and in doing so passed the 50-mark for the third time in four innings.

Rew takes on India

James Rew was named in the County Select squad for the three-day match against India which took place this summer at Emirates Riverside. James made quite an impression, stumping Cheteshwar Pujara in the tourists first innings. He also removed Axar Patel.

Waller and Davey presented with County Caps

Before our home Vitality Blast clash against Gloucestershire, Max Waller and Josh Davey were presented with their County Caps by Club Captain, Tom Abell.

Glamorgan victory secures Somerset’s Quarter Final Place

Somerset sealed a place in the Vitality Blast quarter-finals as they hammered Glamorgan by 74 runs at Sophia Gardens in July.

Rotec Hydraulics Ltd has sponsored Somerset County Cricket Club for more than 5 years. Based within a few minutes walk of the Rotec Head Office, the Cooper Associates Ground has been the venue for many historic and unforgettable moments for thousands of SCCC fans across the years.

SCCC win the RLODC 2019

In 2014, we started our Somerset County Cricket Club sponsorship journey with branded rain covers. 

Little did we know, that on the day, we forged a relationship that would last half a decade (and counting) and bring us so much joy over the 5 years. We have watched the players and the club grow and transform, emerging victorious in this year’s Royal London One Day Cup. 

 It has been an incredible journey so far and we look forward to supporting the team for years to come.
