The Hull Seahawks have unveiled the locally based global health and nutrition company Reckitt as title sponsors for next season.
Reckitt, home to some of the world’s most recognised and trusted consumer brands, has partnered with the Championship National Ice Hockey League team on a one-year deal that will see the company take naming rights of the team – the Hull Reckitt Seahawks.
Dr Bruce Charlesworth, Reckitt Chief Medical Officer and Hull Campus Lead said: “Ice hockey is growing in popularity, and, like Reckitt, our local team has a strong Hull heritage – ours being the Reckitt family and theirs the early Humberside Seahawks days.
“We are very excited about the upcoming season and our new relationship. Ice hockey is a fast-paced game that’s great to watch and play at all levels, with a grass roots foundation that’s linked to healthy living and exercise. We believe this is a partnership that supports the city, helps a community venue, raises the profile of Reckitt, and provides a staff benefit.”
Joe Lamplough and Matty Davies Hull Seahawks Directors said: “This opportunity allows the Hull Seahawks to expand the club and local community in a very exciting manner.
“We’re very much looking forward to working together in expanding the Reckitt name as much as possible within the club as a lot of people are unaware of the global impact Reckitt has. We’re looking forward to welcoming Reckitt employees to our home games to enjoy and soak in the unique atmosphere at the Hull Ice Arena on a match night, trust us when we say there will be some very entertaining games next season.
