Main Club Sponsor

Helphire

Helphire is delighted to be main sponsor of Bath Rugby Club.  Founded in Bath and still with its national headquarters in the city, Helphire is one of the largest and most successful employers in the area. As main sponsor, the company will have its name on the front of Bath Rugby’s playing and replica shirts as well as on the East or 'Helphire' Stand at the Bath Recreation Ground.

Helphire provides replacement vehicles to drivers involved in road accidents that were not their fault. This special service means there's no need to claim on your own insurance. Call Helphire instead and you could receive a ‘like-for-like’ vehicle - as opposed to a small courtesy car - while yours is off the road and if we sort out your repairs, you won’t pay out your insurance excess, possibly saving you several hundred pounds.  The hire car and any repair bills are sent to the insurance company of the driver that caused the accident and the way our scheme works, even if they don’t pay, you won't have to.
 
Helphire is proud to be associated with Bath Rugby and even more proud to have been able to help 'very impressed' former Bath Rugby captain Jonathan Humphries after a road accident. As Mark Jackson, Chief executive of Helphire said, “Bath Rugby is a leading sporting brand in the UK and a great institution of the City of Bath. We are delighted to be the major sponsor of the Club and are very much looking forward to the new season.”
