Connacht Rugby have announced a new partnership with G-P, the leading Global Employment Platform.
G-P will be supporting the team both on and off the pitch and will be the primary sponsor for the Connacht Rugby Awards on Saturday, 20th May, celebrating all that is good about rugby in the province from clubs and schools at all levels to the Professional and Women’s teams.
G-P’s Technology Centre of Excellence for Europe, the Middle East and Africa is Headquartered in Galway, and in similar fashion to the partnership with Genesys, the Connacht team has been quick to turn global eyes towards a strong local partnership.
G-P is a HR platform that makes it easier for employers to navigate international hiring quickly and compliantly in 180+ countries around the world.
“We are very happy to announce this partnership with Connacht Rugby. G-P began its journey in Ireland here in Galway in 2021 and today’s announcement aligns two growth-driven, forward-thinking, ambitious teams,” said Suzanne McVey, Senior Director, Marketing at G-P.
“This partnership provides a wonderful opportunity for G-P to further engage with the people and culture of Galway and Ireland and we look forward to supporting Connacht Rugby as they enter a very exciting time in their history.”
“G-P have invested heavily in the West of Ireland in the past few years, and they understand the potential this part of the world can have in growing their business,” added Philip Patterson, Head of Commercial and Marketing at Connacht Rugby.
“Like Connacht Rugby, they too want to acknowledge and celebrate all the great work that’s happening across the province, so working with them in delivering our annual Connacht Rugby awards is a perfect fit for us.”
Connacht’s commercial roster now extends to more than 25 different partners from Genesys, Bank of Ireland, and BLK to Heineken, the Atlantic Technological University, Laya Healthcare, Grant Thornton and Red Bull.
