Isuzu UK has renewed its partnership with the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) as the Official Supplier for the years 2023 to 2025.
As part of the partnership, Isuzu will supply and deliver a substantial fleet of Isuzu D-Max pickups, which will play a crucial role in supporting the WRU’s community department. These vehicles will facilitate the delivery of rugby activities across Wales.
George Wallis, head of marketing, Isuzu UK, said: “This latest agreement means the Isuzu brand will have been continually associated with the WRU for eight years. Rugby is an intrinsic part of Welsh life, and we are delighted to continue our relationship with an institution which shares our values of dependability, toughness, and commitment. We are looking forward to future success on the field.”
This new announcement extends the existing relationship between the WRU and Isuzu UK which first joined forces in 2017, launching a four-year deal, and at that point, the biggest shirt partnership deal in the WRU’s history. The deal saw them take front-of-shirt sponsorship for both Men’s and Women’s senior sides until 2021.
“We are delighted to welcome Isuzu back as an Official Supplier to the Welsh Rugby Union,” added Nigel Walker, WRU’s interim CEO.
“We have a successful history of collaboration together, and I look forward to seeing what the next two years with Isuzu have in store.”
