Westland Horticulture has become a premier sponsor of Chester Rugby Club. 

Compost is the No.1 consumed gardening product, and it is the life partner of all plants. Westland has been producing compost for gardeners and professional growers at its facility in Ellesmere Port since 2015, and the company has invested over £70m into the factory’s infrastructure, which has led to it becoming the UK’s largest producer of peat free compost. 

Both Westland and Chester Rugby Club share the vision that success is rooted in reinvesting profits into development, and Westland’s sponsorship demonstrates its commitment to the local community, where many of its 100 colleagues at its Ellesmere Port facility call home. The sponsorship includes branded assets at the Club’s 2,000 capacity ground. 

Iain Brown, Head of Logistics, at Westland, commented: “We’re very proud to be sponsoring the Chester Rugby Club for 2023/24 season. Westland and Chester Rugby Club share an ethos that community is at the heart of all we do, and our sponsorship will help the club support all its players, at all levels. We wish the club a successful season, and our colleagues are looking forward to supporting them from the sidelines.”  

Dave Maloney, Chairman, at Chester Rugby Club, added: “Sponsorship makes a vital contribution to the club’s financial wellbeing, and we would not be able to operate at the level four of the Rugby Union pyramid without the support of companies like Westland. We are extremely grateful for the backing of Westland.”
