A WARRINGTON bank has signed a deal to sponsor the Wolves ahead of the new Super League season.

Redwood Bank has signed a two-year deal with Warrington Wolves and its logo will appear on the shirt sleeves.

Gary Wilkinson, CEO and co-founder of the Warrington-based bank, said: “We couldn’t be more delighted to agree this sponsorship with ‘The Wire’ as they prepare for the start of a new season.”

The bank will feature on the left sleeve of shirts worn by the first team, reserves and under 19s throughout the season.

Mr Wilkinson said: “Warrington Borough Council is one of Redwood’s significant shareholders, and we have a strong staff presence in our Warrington office, so we are very pleased to be able to strengthen further our links with the community. The Wolves have a passionate following and it’s important to show that we share that passion.

“When the opportunity came along to be part of the Warrington Wolves journey, we simply couldn’t say no. We care about our roots and want to be able to give back and show that we are a part of the community.”

Since its inception in 2017, the bank has loaned more than £170 million to people and properties based in Warrington and the north west, representing approximately 31 per cent of Redwood Bank’s lending. This compares to an industry average of 10 per cent.

Warrington Wolves CEO Karl Fitzpatrick said: “We are thrilled to partner with Redwood Bank as our sleeve sponsor for the 2023 season.

"Their commitment to supporting and investing in the local community aligns with our own values, and we are grateful for their support. A great example of this is their generosity in donating 10 memberships to our Help a Child be Part of the Pack scheme, which is fantastic to see. We look forward to working together this year.”
