Sports such as rugby league share many of the same values that we do as a business – not least of all teamwork and resilience. I was very proud to see Civils & Lintels on screen this weekend and look forward to witnessing the positive impact that this sponsorship has.”

The sponsorship forms part of a broader strategy by the builders’ merchant group to align its brand with national sporting fixtures, increasing visibility while supporting community-based activity linked to construction supply markets.
