Fans get chance to meet a quartet of Saints stars
Northampton Saints supporters will get the chance to rub shoulders with four of the club’s trophy-chasing heroes at a special event this week to mark 25 years of backing from Travis Perkins.
Italian fans’ favourite Edoardo Todaro, Australian James Ramm, hooker Curtis Langdon and scrum half Tom James will all be in attendance at the Travis Perkins branch on Harvey Reeves Road on Wednesday, May 13 between 3.30pm and 5pm.
Fans will be invited to meet and have photographs with the trio, as well as take part in a special throwing challenge, with signed Saints merchandise up for grabs for the winners.
This season marks the 25th anniversary of Travis Perkins, the UK’s largest builders’ merchant with its head office based in Northampton, being a partner of Northampton Saints.
As part of the celebrations, Saints fans attending Friday’s Gallagher PREM home clash with Bristol will also get the chance to win prizes by taking on the Travis Perkins throwing challenge in the fan zone pre-game.
Carine Jessamine, Group Marketing & Digital Director for Travis Perkins, said: “We are extremely proud of our association with Northampton Saints which is one of, if not the, longest-standing partnerships in English sport.
“Our trade customer base is packed with rugby fans and it has been, and continues to be, a very successful partnership for all parties.
“We are delighted to offer Saints fans the chance to meet and greet four team members who have played important roles in what has been a fantastic season for the club.
“We are confident it will create a great buzz in our Harvey Reeves Road branch and we encourage as many of our customers and Saints fans to come and join the fun in what is a completely free event.”
Ulundi Makhanya, Director of Commercial Partnerships at Northampton Saints who are currently top of the Gallagher PREM, said: “The name of Travis Perkins has become synonymous with Northampton Saints and we are delighted that the partnership has had such longevity and remains so strong.
“We are delighted to mark the 25th anniversary with a couple of special events for fans to enjoy this week at what is a really exciting time for the club.
“We are hoping as many fans as possible will head to the local Travis Perkins branch just a stone’s throw from the stadium on Wednesday and then join in the throwing challenge in the fan zone ahead of another big game for the club on Friday.”
