OSPREYS FEEL THE POWER

The sister company of energy firm npower has signed what it describes as the biggest ever sponsorship deal in Welsh club rugby.

The npower renewables arm of the company – a green energy developer and operator – has signed the deal with Celtic League champions the Ospreys.

The deal is worth £300,000 over the next two years.

Kevin McCullough, director of npower renewables said: “Our sister company, electricity retailer npower, has a strong track record in sports sponsorship in England and we decided that sponsorship of a Welsh rugby team of the calibre of the Ospreys would be a very successful partnership for us.”
