Hartpury RFC are delighted to announce that leading law firm Lodders Solicitors will continue their partnership with the club for the 2026/27 season, continuing their support as one of the club’s main shirt sponsors.
Following a successful first year working together, the expanded partnership reflects the strong relationship that has developed between Hartpury RFC and Lodders, who continue to demonstrate their commitment to supporting grassroots rugby, local businesses and the rural community.
Lodders also proudly supported the club’s annual Farmers’ Day earlier this year, which once again proved to be one of the standout events in the Hartpury RFC calendar. Bringing together farmers, landowners, rural professionals and local businesses, the event attracted an excellent turnout and reinforced the shared values between the club and Lodders, with community, agriculture and collaboration at its heart.
Building on that success, Hartpury RFC and Lodders are now exploring plans to host a dedicated business networking event during a Championship fixture in the forthcoming season, creating another opportunity for local businesses and professionals to connect while enjoying top-class rugby.
Founded in 1786, Lodders is one of the Midlands’ leading law firms, with a long-established reputation for advising individuals, families and businesses, particularly within the rural and agricultural sectors. The firm also continues to work closely with the Hartpury Agri-Tech Centre, further strengthening its relationship with the wider Hartpury community.
Lorraine Cornwell, Hartpury RFC Commercial Manager, said: “We’re delighted that Lodders have chosen to continue their partnership with the club by being one of our main shirt sponsors for the new season. Their support over the past year has been fantastic, and the success of Farmers’ Day demonstrated just how well our organisations align in supporting the rural community. We’re excited to continue building the partnership, including plans for a business networking event that will bring together our commercial community throughout the season.”
Dawn Oliver, Partner at Lodders, added: “We have been delighted to sponsor Hartpury RFC for the 25/26 season and be part of an outstanding result, finishing 6th in the Championship table. Continuing our support of the club in 26/27 is an honour and we look forward to an even better result for the talented and hardworking team of players under the guidance and leadership of head coach Mark Cornwell and his team.”
Supporters will see the new partnership on display throughout the 2026/27 Championship season, with Lodders’ branding proudly featured on the back of Hartpury RFC’s playing shirts.
