Herts Cricket and GRS pair up to promote the game

Hertfordshire Cricket and GRS Group are pleased to announce a new partnership that will support the growth and development of cricket in Hertfordshire.

This exciting pair-up will see GRS – Britain’s leading independent construction materials and waste services provider – become an official partner of Hertfordshire Cricket. The two will work together to promote the sport across the county and encourage more people – especially from under-represented groups – to get involved in playing and supporting cricket.

This will include joint initiatives, community outreach programs, and a whole host of events designed to promote the broader benefits of the sport to a wider audience. GRS staff will get involved as part of the company’s community engagement activity. And the partnership will also give young people the opportunity to gain an insight into what it takes to work at a company like GRS which provides essential products and services to construction.

Antony Beamish & Iain Fletcher
Hertfordshire Cricket CEO, Iain Fletcher said: "We are delighted to be partnering with GRS, a company that shares our passion for doing good within communities and sees cricket as a vehicle to achieve that. Sport can be a powerful force for good and already disabled and girls cricket across the county is benefiting from this partnership with GRS; over time that will only become stronger.”

GRS Managing Director and keen cricketer Antony Beamish said: "We are delighted to be partnering with Hertfordshire Cricket, and working towards our shared vision of helping all sections of society through the provision of cricket. People are very much at the heart of what we do as a business and that positive can-do spirit is just the same whether it’s in business or on the cricket pitch.”

The partnership between Hertfordshire Cricket and GRS is set to commence immediately and promises to deliver exciting opportunities for budding young cricketers, those already playing cricket and fans across the county.
