Dragons RFC are delighted to announce a new partnership with Candleston Homes to become an official stand sponsor at Rodney Parade.
The exciting agreement sees the West Stand at the home of the Men of Gwent renamed the Candleston Homes Stand and Candleston Homes Terrace, with branding on the exterior of the stand, and prominent branding throughout the stadium on match days.
The new-look stand was unveiled to supporters for the first time during our recent BKT United Rugby Championship fixture with Hollywoodbets Sharks.
Candleston Homes is part of the Melin Group and have expansive history in delivering housing on well-located sites in South East Wales. Housing association Melin Homes has 5000 affordable properties across local authorities in the Gwent region.
Candleston was formed to create high quality, sustainable homes of all tenures and profit made by the sales of Candleston homes is reinvested to Melin for the benefit of its residents and the people living in its communities.
The upcoming merger of Melin and Newport City Homes will allow Candleston to further prosper and enable the group to invest more into its communities, enhancing services to its residents.
Commenting on the new partnership, Rhys Blumberg, Chief Executive Officer at Dragons RFC, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Candleston Homes to our Dragons family and it’s fantastic to see the branding up at Rodney Parade.
“Candleston Homes do a huge amount of positive work across South East Wales and we have a number of key activations now planned with them in the coming months for residents alongside our award-winning Dragons Community team.
“We are excited to grow our relationship with Candleston Homes over the coming seasons and thank them for their support as the 2024/25 season gathers pace.”
Peter Crockett, Managing Director of Candleston Homes said: “This exciting new partnership reflects Candleston’s commitment to the communities we operate in.
“This sponsorship is building upon the long-standing partnership that exists between Melin and Dragons in the community, ensuring that we continue to invest in the long-term vitality of our communities and helping Melin in its objective to create opportunities for people and communities to thrive.”
