The England Hockey Board and Great Britain Hockey’s Official Partner and Supplier Programme enables businesses to align themselves with world-class success, reach a new AB-biased audience and deliver CSR agendas through grassroots initiatives.
As part of our strategic plans to grow the sport, income from the Official Partner and Supplier Programme is reinvested to help attract and retain more people in hockey, help our clubs and associations to develop and thrive and to help deliver our international teams to the podium at the biggest tournaments.
