Our Sponsorships and Commitments

1. Rotherham Titans Rugby Club

As one of the shirt sponsors for Rotherham Titans Rugby Club, we’re not just putting our name on the team’s jerseys; we’re investing in the future of rugby in Rotherham. Rugby is more than just a sport here; it’s a way of life. By supporting the Titans, we aim to contribute to the growth of the sport and provide opportunities for local talent to shine.

2. Rotherham Metro Swimming Club

Our partnership with Rotherham Metro Swimming as their training kit sponsor showcases our commitment to nurturing talent at the grassroots level. Swimming is a sport that requires dedication and discipline, and we believe in instilling these values in young athletes from Rotherham. Our support helps provide the necessary resources for these swimmers to excel.

3. Thomas Rotherham College Football Club

Education and sports go hand in hand, and that’s why we proudly sponsor Thomas Rotherham College Football Club.

By supporting the college’s football club, we’re encouraging students to pursue their passion for sports while balancing their academic journey.

4. Wickersley Old Hall Cricket Club

Wickersley Old Hall Cricket Club holds a special place in the hearts of many in our community. We’ve extended our support by providing them with an advertising board. This not only helps the club financially, but SMH gain visibility as it connects us with the rich tradition of cricket in Rotherham.

5. Rotherham United Football Club

Engaging with our local professional football club, Rotherham United, through advertising in their corporate journal is another way we connect with our local community. The Rotherham United journal is not just a source of information for fans; it’s a platform where local businesses like ours can showcase their commitment to the town and its sports culture.

The importance of local engagement

For SMH Haywood & Co, supporting these local sports clubs is more than just a business decision; it’s about fostering a sense of community and giving back to the place many of our staff call home.

Whist the financial support we offer makes a huge difference to these clubs, it also shows that we are invested in the growth and well-being of Rotherham and its people. These partnerships allow us to connect with our clients and neighbours on a deeper level, strengthening our relationships and contributing to our firm’s growth.

“Our involvement with Rotherham based sports clubs also plays a pivotal role in boosting our brand awareness. When people see the SMH Haywood & Co name associated with their favourite local teams, it creates a positive impression and reinforces our reputation as a firm that cares about Rotherham.”
