Westcotts ‘kicks off’ support for Bridgwater & Albion RFC with new branding

The Somerset firm’s Bridgwater-based Director Tara Bell and Phil Butterworth, Partner, joined Geoff Sluman, Director of Rugby (pictured) and players from the 1st XV team to show their support ahead of the club’s first home game against Crediton in the Regional 2 Tribute South West league on Saturday.

Westcotts, a UK top 50 firm of Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers, has secured a new advertising agreement with Bridgwater & Albion RFC for the 2022/23 season which includes prominent pitch side perimeter boards with their new branding.

The firm, formerly known as Thomas Westcott, which has an office on Castle Street in Bridgwater, as well as offices across Somerset including Somerton, Burnham on Sea and Weston-super-Mare has supported the club for several years.

Earlier this month, Westcotts launched its new brand identity and change of name, as part of its overall business strategy.

Tara Bell, Director at Westcotts’ Bridgwater office said: “Bridgwater & Albion RFC has, for centuries, played an integral part in the local community and our long-standing commitment to the town, and indeed the county of Somerset, it seems entirely fitting to provide our support for the club. We are delighted to reveal our new advertising board at the College Way Ground for the 2022/23 season.”

Phil Butterworth, Westcotts’ Bridgwater and Somerton Partner added: “As a leading firm of chartered accountants and business advisers in Bridgwater, we fully appreciate the contribution that Bridgwater & Albion RFC makes to the area, and we are proud to be a part of the club’s success. We very much look forward to our continued relationship with the team.”

Geoff Sluman, Director of Rugby at Bridgwater and Albion RFC said: “We are delighted that Westcotts have agreed to support Bridgwater and Albion RFC for the forthcoming season. We are very much a community club. Sponsorship raised goes directly to the playing of rugby at the club for our ever-expanding youth, senior and women’s rugby teams. We simply could not operate without our sponsors and express our sincere thanks to Westcotts for their ongoing support”
