BERKSHIRE BANSHEES TAKE FLIGHT WITH NEW PARTNERSHIP
BERKSHIRE Banshees Wheelchair Rugby team has launched a new sponsorship partnership with Starflight Aviation.
Starflight says it is pleased to support the efforts made by club Chairman and Youth team head coach, Craig Hunter, and looks forward to seeing the team sporting the Starflight logo in its upcoming matches.
Craig unveiled the brand new wheelchairs at the Starflight Aviation headquarters at the prestigious Farnborough Airport in February.
Starflight hopes that as well as its wheelchair donations, the Banshees’s new affiliation with an industry which relies upon teamwork, precision, and the ongoing pursuit of excellence, will inspire them going forward.
“We’re excited to support the Berkshire Banshees with these new wheelchairs.
This initiative reflects the company’s commitment to the community and inclusively.
“We wish the team all the best and look forward to seeing them win soon,” said Girish Patel, finance director.
Craig Hunter, chairman of Berkshire Banshees
Wheelchair Rugby CIC, added: “We are absolutely delighted to have gained the support of Starflight Aviation and thrilled to be invited along to their amazing headquarters.
“Berkshire Banshees relies on donations to buy the bespoke chairs we need to grow the club including creating a youth team for players aged eight to 16.”
