Greenlite Group is proud to announce our continued partnership as the principal sponsor of the Blackburn Hawks. This strategic alliance represents more than just a conventional business relationship, spanning 4 seasons under the current ownership of Evermax Events Ltd. Our connection with the Hawks runs much deeper, tracing back to 1997 when both our family and the Lomax family’s sons were actively participating in Ice Hockey at Blackburn Arena.
This longstanding relationship has established a foundation built on shared passion and commitment to the sport. As leaders in sustainable energy solutions, we see this partnership as an opportunity to combine our technical expertise with our dedication to community engagement.
Reflecting on this partnership, Graham Lomax, one of the two principal owners of the Hawks, elaborates, “When we first started the business, it was our objective to find a title sponsor, but not just any old business, there had to be a connection to the club and the sport itself, and there is no more fitting company The Greenlite Group.”
“The Hall Family themselves, including Bob and Ricky, along with all the boy’s have a fantastic hockey history spanning back decades. When we first approached Greenlite, they felt the same way we did, and they were delighted to come on board, and they’re still with us four years later. This is something that we really do respect, and long may that continue”
This collaboration exemplifies how strategic partnerships, when founded on shared history, mutual respect, and common goals, can create lasting value for all stakeholders involved, contributing significantly to the club’s ongoing development and success.
