Bristol-based global executive search firm Granger Reis has agreed a new two-year sponsorship deal with Bristol Bears for the next two Premiership Women’s Rugby seasons.
Granger Reis’s branding will feature on the back of the Bears Women’s home and away shirts for their 2024/25 and 2025/26 campaigns.
The deal follows the firm’s successful sponsorship of the team’s home fixtures for the past two seasons.
Founded in 2008, Granger Reis specialises in placing global leaders across organisations in advanced technology, natural resources and real assets.
Its clients include housebuilder Redrow, transport giant First Group and property developer Stanhope.
Bristol Bears Women, who compete in the Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby – England’s top-tier women’s rugby union competition – is part of Bristol Sport group, which also includes Bristol Bears men’s rugby, Bristol City FC men’s and women’s teams and professional basketball team Bristol Flyers.
