Hartpury RFC are delighted to announce a new partnership with leading law firm Lodders Solicitors, who will become the club’s official shorts sponsor for the upcoming season, which kicks off this Saturday.
Lodders will also sponsor Hartpury’s annual Farmers’ Day, a much-anticipated event in the club’s calendar that will take place on Friday 27 February 2026. Farmers’ Day brings together the local agricultural community for a celebration of rugby, farming, and rural life – values at the heart of both Hartpury and Lodders. The business already has a relationship with Hartpury, notably through its collaborative partnership with the Agri-Tech Centre.
Founded almost 240 years ago, Lodders has grown into one of the Midlands’ most respected law firms, with strong roots in the region’s rural and agricultural sectors. Their support of Hartpury RFC further strengthens their commitment to local communities while underlining their passion for rugby and its role in bringing people together.
Lorraine Cornwell, Hartpury RFC Commercial Manager, said: “We’re thrilled to announce Lodders as our new shorts sponsor. Their reputation and history in supporting rural communities makes them the perfect partner for Hartpury RFC, and we’re particularly excited to have them involved in Farmers’ Day, one of our most popular fixtures of the season.”
Paul Mourton, Managing Partner at Lodders Solicitors, said: “Building on our existing partnership with the Hartpury Agri-Tech Centre, we are delighted to be supporting Hartpury University RFC through the 2025/26 season. The club has a fantastic supporter base of business owners, farmers and landowners, many of whom we know well through our private wealth focus and rural sector expertise. We are looking forward to building further strong pitch-side relationships whilst cheering on this talented team as they continue to punch above their weight in the Championship.”
Fans can see the new partnership in action this Saturday as Hartpury RFC begin their season, proudly wearing Lodders branding on their shorts.
