360 Chartered Accountants has announced its continued support of Hull KR by renewing its sponsorship for the 11th year running.

The award-winning firm has confirmed it will stay on as associate sponsors of the club, which includes sponsoring the first team coaches, Tony Smith, Danny Maguire and David Hodgson.

The company will also be official team news sponsors for match days home and away, official attendance sponsors, official interchange sponsors for home games.

The 360 and 5Four Payroll logos [5Four is the company’s payroll bureau] will feature on the coaches’ match day polo shirts for all home and away games throughout the 2022 season.

Andy Steele, director of 360 Chartered Accountants, said: “We are such huge fans of Hull KR and are thrilled to be able to continue our sponsorship.

“As a local business, we think it’s important to support your local clubs, from grassroots sports right up to top flight and we are looking forward to working with the Robins again.

“As well as helping Hull KR, the deal allows us to get our name and our new charity, the 360 Foundation, in front of even more business owners.  It’s all about community, and that’s why this is a perfect partnership.”

It has been a busy few days on the commercial side for Rovers, which is celebrating its 140th anniversary this year.

On Wednesday, it was announced that Hull-based internet and “smart city” service provider Connexin had agreed a two-season year deal as headline sponsors of the club.     

Furqan Alamgir, co-founder and CEO of Connexin, said: “As an organisation that was born and continues to thrive in Hull, we understand the important role that sport plays in this city. This is why we are delighted to be investing in one of Hull’s key sporting institutions through our new partnership with Hull KR.”

And last week the Robins announced Sewell Group as their stadium naming rights partner. The deal will see the stadium referred to as Sewell Group Craven Park.
